I'd been harassing rapper Amanda Blank for days when I finally got her on the line. Having just engaged in some lazy Sunday afternoon "boo lovin'," Blank, 24, was still lying in bed when she picked up. Lying in bed. Naked. Now, I'm all for professionalism and as this was our first time speaking, I was gentlemanly enough to wait three minutes before engaging in important topics like fingerbanging, handjobs, and boners.

Blank, as I found out, will talk and rhyme about anything. The Philly-adoring MC wants to have a blast and pursued rapping as a laugh – jumping in on the boys while they were freestyling and smoking blunts at high-school parties. Then, after graduation, television-less and inspired by boredom, Blank wrote silly songs about doing the dishes and cooking dinner with her roommate. She then recorded the tracks with friend and producer, Spank Rock.

Her attitude has been totally breezy. "How seriously can I take myself?" asks the fun-loving rapper. "People know I'll do anything just to tell the story the next day. My music isn't only about cocaine and blowjobs, but you can't always have a message. People are over it, they want to hear something that will make them move." Blank, whose musical inspiration spans from Whitesnake to Cat Power, also records as the singer of indie pop band Sweetheart, when she's not collaborating with her indisputably talented friends. "I have good people around me – XXXChange, Diplo, Spank Rock, Low B, M.I.A." Blank says appreciatively: "To know people who are doing shit that you like makes pursuing this much easier. Fuck it, if no one else likes it, at least my friends do."
