Melisa Young was born January 1, 1980 in Markham, Illinois. She had a hard life growing up in South suburban Chicago due to her parents' financial circumstances during the 1980s and '90's. Kid Sister started rapping in October 2005, becoming an MC at monthly dance parties hosted by DJ duo Flosstradamus (she is the elder sister of one half of the duo, Josh "J2K" Young), which led to being featured in MTV's My Block that same year. She made URB's "The Next 1000" cover in April 2007, and was signed to Kanye West's DJ A-Trak's label, Fool's Gold, who released her first single "Pro Nails", which features Kanye West. Kid Sister later signed with Downtown Records, who re-released "Pro Nails" to critical acclaim.


Kid Sister's debut album will be released in the upcoming months. "I think a lot of people are going to be surprised with the fact that there's a bunch of raw hip-hop records on there," according to A-Trak. "It's not all up tempo clubby stuff. I think a lot of people are going to be impressed with her growth also because when she made a lot of the records that people have heard by now, she was just starting to rap." The album will feature work from producers such as Spank Rock's XXXChange, Trackademicks, Gant-Man, and Diplomats producers Infamous and Develop among others. Kid Sister is also working with Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D.
