Sailorr stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about her new mixtape From Florida’s Finest. She shared how Florida has impacted her perspective and explained how she honors her Asian roots by styling her teeth, referencing the cultural history of women in Southeast Asia. She talked about her song “Grrl’s Grrl” and revealed it’s her favorite on the project—then admitted she has taken someone’s girl before. She also opened up about being inspired by poet and activist Nikki Giovanni when writing her song “W1LL U L13,” which came from a personal place during a long-distance relationship filled with broken promises.
She addressed critiques around cultural appropriation and spoke about how she navigates that space. Sailorr also shared how she was discovered through TikTok and how everything changed after getting a FaceTime from Bu. She reflected on impostor syndrome, staying grounded, and her hopes for her debut album. She talked about her remix with Summer Walker and the lessons she learned from observing her work ethic and team. Sailorr also shared the love she’s received from Halle Bailey, Doja Cat, Justin Bieber, Queen Latifah, and Doechii, who surprised her by showing consistent support online. In their “Toxic Talk” segment, she weighed in on texting exes, sharing your location, and how honest to be about gifts in a relationship. Sailorr says she hopes people connect with her writing and know she makes music for women. Stream her mixtape From Florida’s Finest now.
