GRAMMY winner Rapsody has teamed up with legendary producer Madlib for a new two-song EP titled MadRaps.

The project follows the release of limited-edition physical versions and showcases Rapsody at her sharpest, blending soul-deep vulnerability with razor-wire lyricism. Over Madlib’s textured, sample-rich production, Rapsody channels the voices of women rarely heard and the defiant spirit of hip-hop resistance.

The EP features the tracks “Avon Thru The Wire” and “Daddy’s Girl”. On the former, Rapsody personifies the duality of street loyalty and personal growth, weaving together memory, trauma, and love into a street memoir. On “Daddy’s Girl,” she takes aim at the industry’s gatekeeping and double standards, expressing her fight for recognition in a male-dominated space.

In support of the release, limited-edition merch, exclusive vinyl, and cassette drops are now available, with a grassroots street campaign paying homage to hip-hop’s analog roots. The EP is a raw, unfiltered bridge between Rapsody’s GRAMMY-winning album, Please Don’t Cry, and her forthcoming music.

Stream MadRaps on Spotify and Apple Music.
