The youngest female rapper ever signed to a major record label celebrated the release of her debut album with a jaw-dropping performance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Wednesday. In August, Lay Lay made history when she landed a contract with Empire, which also distributed Kendrick Lamar’s 2011 debut album. The 11-year-old, who was born in Houston and rose to prominence on Instagram, told DeGeneres she inherited her freestyle chops from her father, who is a music industry veteran. “I watched him a lot in the studio and it inspired me to rap also,” said the rapper, whose real name is Alaya High. “We rap about all types of stuff. Food, pots and pans, butterflies ― it don’t even matter. We just rap.” Later, the talented tween ― who lists Migos, Cardi B and Ri- hanna among her favorite performers ― took to the stage to give DeGeneres and her audience a taste of her new album, “Tha Cheat Code,” out this week. By the end of her song, however, Lay Lay got a surprise of her own when DeGeneres presented her with a special present from Rihanna.

From Kriss Kross to Lil Pump, young rappers are nothing new in hip-hop, but on Tues- day (Aug. 1), 11-year-old Alaya High, also known as Lay Lay, reportedly became the youngest female rapper to sign a record deal with Empire.
The Houston native, who now reps Atlanta, announced the news on her Instagram page, revealing she inked a deal with Empire. "It’s official!!! I am the YOUNGEST FE- MALE RAP ARTIST to sign a record deal� � � ," the pre-teen rhymer wrote in the caption. The 11-year-old rapper also revealed she will be dropping her first single, "Go Lay Lay Go," which is off of her upcoming album. "I would like to thank my fans @empire @queenalphashawn @buttamurphy @djcone and my DAD @aciehigh_aciehigh44 for making this possible. Look out for my first single “Go Lay Lay Go” ALBUM ON THE WAY!!! � � � � ," she added.
High has been sharing pictures and videos on her Instagram account since 2017 but the young rapper got a taste of fame in May when a clip of her freestyling over BlocBoy JB's "Shoot" went viral on Twitter. The tweet was retweeted over 100,000 times and earned Lay Lay a buzz on Twitter.
Lay Lay also hinted at her signing with Empire last month, when she released a freestyle over Drake's "I'm Upset" and gave a shout out to the late XXXTentacion, who had a deal with Empire as well.
"Can't leave the kids alone/Rest in peace XXXTentacion/Glad I get to try and make a difference for XXXTentacion/Now your girl on the same label as XXXTentacion," she rapped in a video posted on July 13.
