As for label Brand New Music founded by Rhymer, the female rapper shared Rhymer came to find her at the café where she worked after hearing her single album when she was 23. Young and wanting to work alone, she was stubborn and refused the offer.
"He waited and watched me for three years," KittiB said. "After 'Unpretty Rapstar,' I finally signed the contract."
