Like many artists, Nitty Scott MC draws inspiration from her life experiences.  The Afro-Boricua emcee has used the mic both onstage and off to empower women, big up bisexuality and rep negras unapologetically.

We had the chance to catch the New York-bred artist as she slayed the stage at this year’s Afro-Latino Festival in New York, which celebrated women of the Diaspora.

Ain’t I Latina? reporter Major Nesby caught up with Nitty Scott after her performance. The powerful conversation went from how she p**sy pops on the patriarchy and women reclaiming their narratives to her experience as a homeless, LGBTQ runaway, to name a few things discussed.

With her upcoming LP – “Creature!”– dropping July 21, watch our entire interview, below:
