There’s a nostalgic hypnotism in TiaCorine’s music and style. TiaCorine’s roots lie in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a bustling, industrious city sat squarely in the middle of the Northern and Southern border of the U.S., making the young rapper’s music evocative of multiple coasts and styles while still anchored in a subtle, decidedly Southern foundation. “I made a song called ‘Cabbage’ with OGSpliff and I just started becoming a legend in Winston, because everybody was like, ‘Wow, this is a different sound you have. It's hard,’” Tia says. In the middle of welcoming her first child and finishing her degree, Tia tapped into her passions within fashion, anime, hip-hop, and more to record songs sporadically throughout college. “Lotto,” christened with Sailor Moon sound bites and vicious, cocky bars nestled between a deceptively charming hook, Tia knew she couldn’t turn back now. The lethal pair of her 34Corineand Pussy EPs put her on the map leading into 2022’s I Can’t Wait. Toward the tail end of the year, the infectious, instructive “Freaky T” made its way online. From TikTok to the club, TiaCorine became inescapable. Since “Freaky T,” the Winston-Salem superhero has embarked on a tour with Key Glock, blessed her hit single with a remix from Latto, festival appearances, and more, having done all of this before her major label debut. Since signing with Interscope in 2023, TiaCorine intends to give audiences a taste of all the characters inside her.
