Vita Was Supposed To Be Next Up! What Happened? Stunted Growth Music

Dope rapper, that had a short window of opportunity. Surprised she didn't do much right after leaving The Inc.

If Social Media was around back then it may have been different. We had to stay up til 3àm(est) waiting for UNCUT to come on. I remember lighting one up at 2:50am in anticipation. Me and my cuzns would be 💀 laughing at some of these videos.
