Within a year of releasing her first mixtape, DOMINATION, 19-year-old Tampa Bay rapper Dominique Young Unique has gone from rapping in the courts of her Robes Park Projects in Miami to playing a world-wide stage, performing alongside the likes of N.E.R.D, Big Boi, Die Antwoord and Gucci Mane. Watch her new video for her track ‘Follow The Leader’ below.
Teaming up with producer David Alexander (Yo Majesty), she has a taste for rapid-fire raps and high-speed electro club beats. Youthful, raw and full of bite, this 19 year-old is crashing onto dancefloors with her militaristic mash-up of club and hip-hop. It’s been a busy year for the up and coming rapper, with the release of the “Glamorous Touch” mixtape, a SXSW takeover and a whirlwind of performances all over the US including opening for Big Boi, Girl Talk and Sleigh Bells.
In June, Dominique will travel to Europe for a summer tour, performing first at Sónar, Spain’s three-day music festival in its eighteenth year. She will also play at Glastonbury, which has Beyoncé and U2 headlining this year’s festival.
