In a 2022 interview with NME, the rising star reflected on transitioning her dreams into a reality. “You have these dreams and fantasies where you can visualize yourself doing something,” Monaleo said, “but when it starts to actually happen, it’s a surreal experience. I couldn’t believe it was happening, and as quickly as it was.” As her career as a rapper continues to expand, Monalo shares her hopes for the platform she’s built: “I’d like to be remembered as an artist that was fearless: someone who used her circumstances as a stepping stool to be a voice to the people who have gone through similar things.”
The music video for “Ridgemont Baby” captures the rapper driving around her hometown in a Rolls Royce. The video is well worth the watch and captures the essence of childhood dreams, so be sure to check it out above.

[Intro]
(Aw, baby)
It’s like (Aw, baby)
I don’t understand all this, I made Monaleo (Aw, baby)
Monaleo wouldn’t be who she was is if it wasn’t for me (Aw, baby)
Like, is you serious, nigga?
I don’t owe no bitch nothin’, I don’t owe no nigga nothin’
I really got this shit out the dirt
That’s why it’s mud on my shoes
But fuck it let’s get into it
[Verse 1]
Uh, ayy (Aw, baby)
Niggas swear they made me can’t nobody break me (Aw, baby)
Cause I’m a Ridgemont baby, mo-city raised me
Gotta keep my gun off safety (Aw, baby) ’cause these bitches hate me (Aw, baby), actin’ shady
Probably ’cause their favorite niggas wanna date me (Aw, baby)
I can’t listen to you bitches’ music that shit too borin’ (Aw, baby)
Every time I read another blog, it’s a new story
Me and Keke runnin’ from the laws (Aw, baby), that’s a true story (Aw, baby)
You bitches grew up with family dog in a two-story
So in other words, bitch, you don’t know the half
What you know bout’ boilin’ hot water just to take a bath?
We was four deep in a one-bedroom, you do the math
No cable so I had plenty time to work on my craft
Ayy, rap shit saved me, devil tried to take me
Stood ten toes on my problems and did it bravely
Still can’t name one thing a nigga gave me
Everything gravy, Ridgemont baby (Aw, baby)
[Bridge]
Every time a motherfucker see you doin’ good (Aw, baby)
They try to come and discredit everything that you’ve been done (Aw, baby)
Everything you’ve been through (Aw, baby)
Everything you’ve worked for
All the hard hours you put in (Aw, baby)
Wasn’t nobody there but me and me
I picked myself up (Aw, baby)
I wiped my own tears, me, nigga
[Verse 2]
Ayy, uh, ayy
Comin’ home from school to the lights off
We was sprayin’ roaches on the cabinets with the Lysol
And I ain’t fuck with you bitches ’cause I ain’t like y’all
Always knew I was different, I’m nothin’ like y’all
Bedbugs and fleas, I was on my knees
I was askin’, “God, please, can You help me find some peace?”
Pants was too little, I was bussin” out my jeans
Now I’m makin’ triple, money bussin” out my jeans (Aw, baby)
Ayy, me and my big brother used to share sneakers (Aw, baby)
Since I was a lil’ girl, I was a big dreamer, big thinker
Now I pull up big body, big Beamer (Aw, baby)
Grim reaper, niggas pay me big bucks to kill features (Aw, baby)
Can’t let a bitch or a nigga play me (Aw, baby)
‘Cause we’ll let them fireworks off like Katy
Still can’t name one thang a nigga gave me (Aw, baby)
Everything gravy, Ridgemont baby
