Baltimore native Rye Rye may be used to playing hype girl for her mentor M.I.A., but the student becomes the teacher on “Sunshine,” the feel-good first single from her debut album Go! Pop! Bang!, dropping January 11, 2011. With its squiggly beat accented by hand claps, the 19-year-old MC sass-raps in her signature high-pitched tone, rallying listeners to follow her lead: “Now it’s time, and we proceed/ Come get with me, if you know my steez.” Brighten up your day by listening below.
