TiaCorine

TiaCorine draws on an array of regional rap dialects to shape her entrancing yet forceful sound. The Winston-Salem, North Carolina native anchors her work in Southern traditions while threading West Coast funk currents and anime audio fragments through hook-driven, flow-centric tracks. After dropping several singles on her own, she joined South Coast Music Group, which issued projects including the 2022 album I Can't Wait.

Music and performance had already captured TiaCorine’s attention in early childhood, though her first single surfaced only in 2017, once she completed an exercise physiology degree at Winston-Salem State University. Created with OG Splif, “Cabbage” resonated locally around Winston-Salem and opened doors to additional releases. In 2019 she formalized her partnership with South Coast Music Group, which introduced the 2020 EP 34Corine before delivering her debut studio album, The Saga of 34Corine, the following year. Kenny Beats and DaBaby appeared on that LP, and both the EP and album featured the viral hit “Lotto.” Her sophomore LP, I Can't Wait, arrived in 2022 and spotlighted another standout track, “FreakyT.” A 2023 remix of “FreakyT” brought in Latto, and she spent part of that year on the road supporting Key Glock. She began 2024 by releasing the single “Yung Joc” featuring Luh Tyler.
