The music industry can be torture to a
female in the game. Females often have to fight the image of being
easy or often they are persuaded to be sexual in order to make moves.
Well, Newark Delaware's Alicia Dickerson, known in the underground
music world as “Lady Leash” refuses to follow the norm and will
not give up. Currently residing in North Carolina, Leash has been
doing music since she was in elementary school. She was a member of
the chorus from the time she was in third grade until she reached
ninth grade. She once dreamed of being a singer however when she
wrote her first rap in 09',somewhat imitating the infamous Mary J,
Lady Leash found her hidden talent. Now she writes, raps and sings.
Lady Leash is a firm believer that the
messages in music today are a big part of the problems we are having
with our youth. However, she she feels that its only heightened when
the kids are not getting the proper love, guidance or support at
home. Therefore, our youth are easily influenced and believe the
negative they hear is cool. With her son as her motivation Leash is
determined to make a difference with her music. She wants to tell
her story while also helping fans gain knowledge, self respect,
confidence, strength and realness from her tracks. She knows that
she is blessed with a talent that she strives hard at achieving. She
fears not succeeding.
Currently, Lady Leash is working on
her mix tape “Un~Leashed” and it has her focus. You can find
Leash at local shows and contest working on being heard by anyone and
everyone who is willing to listen. She hopes to one day work with
her favorite rapper, Meek Mill, because she feels his testimony is a
lot like hers and shows her she can make it too. She would also
like to reach her plateau with artist such as Yo Gotti, Rich Homie
Quan, Trey Songs and the beautiful Jasmine Sullivan. When asked what
she wants her fans to know, “That I am going to give ya'll what
ya'll have been missing, I'm the good stuff”.
