Stella Standingbear is shaking things up with the release of her new single, “Mmhmm,” the indigenous Lakota artist has just announced her much-anticipated upcoming album, “Rap Star,” slated to drop on October 31.

The new single “Mmhmm,” which dropped on October 3, is the perfect introduction to this new era. It’s a bold, confident anthem that serves as both a celebration of her journey and a statement to her resilience, beating the odds as an Indigenous woman in the music industry. The track is fire, and now it’s clear it was just the first taste of a much larger project.

The announcement of “Rap Star” firmly cements her status as one of the most exciting and important artists to watch. Her journey to this point has been historic. Stella has already made history as the first Lakota artist to win two awards at the 2023 Indigenous Hip-Hop Awards and is also a two-time Native American Music Award (NAMMY) winner.

Her unique blend of melodic alt-rap, R&B, and pop has captivated a massive audience, earning her a devoted following of over 500,000 across social media. She has proven her crossover appeal time and time again, from her viral hit “Skoden” to sharing the stage with superstar Trippie Redd at the Toyota Arena.

With features in Teen Vogue, Hot97, and DAZED, and a #1 hit on the NCI FM Indigenous Music Countdown (SiriusXM), Stella has consistently broken barriers. She made history again with her appearance on On The Radar Radio, proudly incorporating traditional dancers into her performance.

With the release of “Rap Star” on Halloween, Stella Standingbear is poised to turn her incredible momentum into a full-blown mainstream breakthrough. “Mmhmm” is the lead single, but “Rap Star” is the full declaration.
