Mama Duke is a gifted storyteller, and a rap artist capable of giving J.Cole a run for his money. I say that because he's one of my favorite rappers, so I'm familiar with most of his work. But honestly... you could name any number of artists and Mama Duke would bring some fierce competition.

I got lucky and found Mama Duke and her music because a friend of mine turned me onto her. His name is Harvest Louis, and he's an artist manager here in Austin, with excellent taste. From the day I first explored Mama Duke's Instagram page, I knew she was something special. An engaging entertainer, who pulls you in with a tantalizing story, her warmth and humor win you over as a ride or die fan within 3 videos, or less.
