Kid Sister Announces "Ultraviolet" Tour, Debut LP Out November 17th

September 22, 2009 3:16 PM ET

On November 17th, Chicago-based rapper Kid Sister will finally release her debut album Ultraviolet. "Pro Nails," her hit collaboration with Kanye West, is on the disc, along with first singe "Right Hand Hi" (hear it below). Ultraviolet finds Kid Sister teaming with Cee-Lo and Estelle as well as producers like A-Trak, Spank Rock's XXXchange, DJ Gant-Man and more. Kid Sister's debut LP, originally titled Dream Date, was scheduled for release in fall 2008, but some addition and subtraction of tracks pushed the release back nearly a full year.

To celebrate the release of her hotly anticipated debut, Kid Sister will hit the road this October with Flosstradamus (the duo's J2K is Kid Sister's kid brother). The trek kicks off October 19th in Vancouver, explores the West Coast, visits Chicago and New York and wraps up November 28th in Toronto.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
