Pretty Taking All Fades Official App
Blowing up any squeaky notions about the genre of teen rap, the Los
Angeles trio known as PTAF came on the scene with a series of singles,
all filled with hooks, youthful exuberance, confrontational attitude,
and language that would have gotten the previous generation of
hip-hoppers suspended from school. Members Kandii, K Duceyyy, and Alizé
first came together to form PTAF while the three were at L.A.s Crenshaw
High School in 2012 — the name PTAF stood for "Pretty Taking All Fades"
or, in other words, "Pretty, but willing to fight back." True to their
name, their debut track, "Boss A** B*tch," blew up video-sharing sites
with its ratchet rap attitude and club-worthy hook, while 2013 cuts like
"Do Yo Sh*t" and "Grimy N***a" offered more infectious choruses to sing
along, although with lyrics not suitable for mixed company. The year
2013 was also notable in that a bootleg version of "Boss A** B*tch"
uploaded to retail music merchants influenced the trio to give the
single an official release, while an unauthorized remix posted by Nicki
Minaj influenced Capitol Records to sign the group. Their
confrontational stance and profane lyrics were just part of the whole
PTAF story, as the group began 2014 not only as major-label recording
artists but also as proud high-school graduates.
