Hip-Hop Made: Chloe Bailey on the first Hip-Hop song she fell in love with

Hip-Hop Made - A podcast by Audacy

Joining our continued celebration of Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary on Audacy's Hip-Hop Made, 24-year-old Atlanta native and superstar singer Chlöe Bailey shared with us one of the very first songs that made her fall for the genre and culture. Looking back at one of the very first songs that made Chlöe fall in love with Hip-Hop, she says, "I think it was the Outkast Idlewild soundtrack when I was a little girl growing up in Atlanta, and I really love the 'Call The Law' song." "I really, really love that, and I kept that movie on loop," Chlöe adds. "Ever since then I've loved Outkast's entire catalog and I did more and more research -- and I'm proud to say I am also from Atlanta like they are. Whenever I get to say, 'I'm a musician from Atlanta,' the first people I think of are them." As far as her first live Hip-Hop experience, Chlöe remembers Missy Elliott being on the road alongside Beyoncé and Alicia Keys (2004's Verizon Ladies First Tour), when she was between four and five years old. As young as she may have been at the time, Chlöe says, "I think that counts" -- and with that incredible lineup, so do we! Follow along with more music and conversations on Audacy's Hip Hop Made.
