Youngest In The Yacht Club- Pretty Kokain: From 813 to “The Koldest” Bars, Boundaries & Big Dreams

On Youngest in The Yacht Club, host Vince Serrano sits down with Tampa’s own Pretty Kokain, a rapper, writer, single mom, and construction-site grinder, whose pen is razor-sharp and story even sharper. She talks coming up in the 813, turning fifth-grade poetry into punchlines, earning an industry nod (yes, a Warren G cosign), and snapping on the Most Wanted “No Hiccups” challenge. We dig into her new project “The Koldest,” her single “Low Key,” studio independence, and why authenticity is her superpower.
