Gangsta Boo And La Chat Resurrect Female Rap Collaborations On 'Witch' EP
Southern female rap is making a ferocious resurgence with Gangsta Boo and La Chat teaming up on the upcoming EP, Witch. As fans of Southern rap can attest, the two femcees have been holding it down for the ladies for more than fifteen years. Both hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Boo and Chat have garnered both separate and joint successes.
Gangsta Boo was the first and only female rapper to be a member of Three 6 Mafia and her debut album, Enquiring Minds, which spawned the break out hit, “Where Dem Dollas At,” dropped in September, 1998. La Chat also spent years mixing it up on Three 6 Mafia’s label, Hypnotize Minds, appearing on tracks with Three 6, as well as Gangsta Boo, before releasing her own debut album, Murder She Spoke, in 2001.
With such accolades under their belts separately, why would the two collaborate on an extended play now? As La Chat put it, frankly, “It was the right place and the right time."
“We’ve been planning it for a few years, probably since 2008,” echoed Gangsta Boo, the self-proclaimed Queen of Memphis. “But we both just had other things going on in our lives; working on other projects, dealing with family stuff, and other sh-- that prevented us from doing it."
The pair thought it necessary to team up partly because of the state of rap culture at this time. In an era when it seems to be in style to show out and start beef in your rhymes, Chat and Boo aim to bring gangsta rap back to its roots, through a united front.
“There’s a lot of ‘rapping models’ now -- which is cool -- but back then it was more hardcore female artists that was rapping just like the men,” Boo explaining, citing the exception of Nicki Minaj as one to “go toe to toe with the men” on the mic.
“Females aren’t collabing [now]. They’d rather knock each other down because one bitch got the biggest Gucci purse and the other bitch don’t -- so we felt like there’s no better time to drop it," Boo added.
Joining forces was the name of the game for this album. Witch includes mixing and production credits from Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul as well as Drumma Boy, DJ Squeeky and The Colleagues. Boo and Chat also collaborated with Canadian pop singer, Fefe Dobson and Hypnotize Minds artists Lil Wyte and Frayser Boy.
The lead single for Witch is "B!tchy" and showcases the signature sexy, yet aggressive tone that their fans have come to expect. The video for this single was shot right in their hometown of Memphis and features a verse from former No Limits Records queen bee, Mia X.
“We’re just giving them straight Gangsta Boo and La Chat,” Chat said, describing the overall theme of the work.
“We haven’t changed our formula since literally since we came out because our style was so ahead of its time," Boo added.
Witch is slated for release on May 27.

Add an extra inch or two for seam allowance. Using these measurements, create a template on the black fabric by drawing a wide arch that bends at a point and then gradually widens again. Cut out two pieces of this template, keeping your fabric folded in half for symmetry. Using the hot glue gun, begin attaching the fabric pieces together along the straight edge of the arch, leaving a small opening at the pointed end. This will be the bottom of your hat. Once the glue is dry, turn the fabric right-side out so the seam is hidden on the inside. Now, it's time to create the brim of the hat. Using the same black fabric, cut out a circle with a diameter that matches the desired size of your hat's brim. Cut a smaller hole in the center of this circle, large enough to fit around the pointed end of your hat. This will create a donut shape. Attach the brim to the hat by gluing the fabric around the bottom opening, making sure it is centered and even. To add stability to your hat, you can insert a wire or pipe cleaner along the edge of the brim. This will allow you to shape and adjust the brim to your liking. Finally, it's time to personalize your witch hat. This is when you can get creative and add any embellishments or decorations you desire. You can attach feathers, ribbons, beads, or even small ornaments to give your hat a unique and magical touch. And there you have it - your very own cosplay witch hat! Put it on, style your hair accordingly, and you're ready to cast some spells and enchant those around you at your next cosplay event or Halloween party. Remember to have fun and let your creativity shine through in this DIY project..

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the cosplay witch hat tutorial. The instructions were not clear and the materials required were not provided. The whole process felt rushed and incomplete. Additionally, the video quality was poor, making it difficult to follow along.

2. Jason - 1/5 - This tutorial was a total waste of time. The instructions were confusing, and it seemed like the person making the video didn't even know what they were doing. The final result was nowhere near the quality I was expecting. To top it off, there were no alternative options or troubleshooting advice provided. Save yourself the frustration and find a different tutorial for a cosplay witch hat.
