#Bates #YardDrop #newmusicalert🚨 Tap in right now! New visual "The Bridge Is Falling" (produced by Thr3D) directed and produced by Big Lou Cinematics and Bates from Bates' new album "The Terrible Tales of Mother Goose." Huge thank you @iamjusticelarue and @javier6.11 for the cameo! #Thr3d #biglou #batesstl #stl #dropday #albumdrop #femalerapper #micdrop #indie #womeninhiphop #freshproducestl

Everything about this project has been so exciting! I can't thank @thr3d_imgboss enough for allowing me space and providing me plenty of comfort in beat selection and quick turnaround. I had a rather large catalog of tracks to choose from, all at my mercy, which allowed me to curate my sound. I only produced one track on here "It's Raining," and also got a track from Malik Grey for "Sleazy" with LL Manny. All the rest are chef's kiss top notch Thr3d sound. Someone said at last night's listening party that "Eminem found Dre." Debuting "Ring Around the Rosé" with the iconic Ebony Eyez was already a dream alive, then to create these textured styles with some of STL's finest musicians, I'm beyond thrilled and 1000x grateful. Thank you @suburbanpro for your amazing ear, patience and your friendship. The project sounds amazing!

If you're a fan of horror flicks and local music, listen back to our @stlonair episode with @bates_stl to hear how she combines both. The St. Louis rapper’s album, “The Terrible Tales of Mother Goose” blends her love of music and scary stories by flipping classic nursery rhymes with twisted origins and showcasing her expansive music tastes with her lyricism. “This is the project that defines the kind of music that I actually hear in my head [and] the music that I want to make. [‘The Terrible Tales of Mother Goose’] is my opportunity to show people that I'm not just a rapper who writes rap lyrics,” Bates said. “I really am a music fanatic, and I'm really interested in the production side of the music. I'm not here to prove myself as a lyricist anymore. I'm a songwriter, songwriter and performer — that's what I want to be labeled as.” In this episode, she takes us behind the scenes of her fifth album and she shares her future plans of becoming a music executive producer. Find the full conversation by tapping the link in our bio or wherever you get your "St. Louis on the Air" episodes. ✍️: Miya Norfleet | @hiya.miya.stl 📸: Brian Munoz | @brianmmunoz
