“I put my all into it,” Cassie Rytz tells DJ Mag over the phone. “I put on a good show for them lot, I always put in 100% no matter what.” The London MC is talking about her very first performances. She isn’t talking about a live set in a venue, though, or a stint on a radio show. She’s talking about concerts she did in her bedroom over a decade ago, with her toys lined up in front of her, singing songs by Beyoncé and Rihanna.
Cassie is only 19-years-old, but even during the first few moments of our conversation, it’s clear that the upcoming grime artist is collected and confident and has known where she’s going all along. In 2019, Cassie featured on a BBC Three TV show, titled Galdem Sugar, alongside four up- and-coming female grime artists. It was Cassie’s break, and shortly after, she featured with a freestyle on SBTV.
