2. She's More Than Just a Pretty Face - Don't be fooled by Sasha's delicate features — she makes "drill" music, known for its massive, 808-laden beats and street-wise tough talk, every bit as hard-edged as the city that birthed it. (Photo: courtesy Walk Roll films)

3. She's Down With Chief Keef's GBE Crew - Sasha came up with Chief Keef, and hit him up on Facebook when she started rapping. Keef eventually linked her with one of his go-to producers, DJ Kenn, who hooked Sasha up with her first studio session.

10. She's Only Getting Better - At just 20 years old, Sasha has a whole lot of room to grow, and it showed on her second mixtape, Do You Know Who I Am?, a marked improvement over her first, Glory Girl. Labels are surely knocking, and another mixtape is on the way this year. But for now Sasha just needs to keep doing what she does best — going hard, that is. (Photo: Courtesy Matthew Schaff)
