Rising Stars: Molly Santana


18 06 2026

LA based rapper and singer/songwriter Molly Santana emerged from the underground hip-hop scene in 2021 at age 16 with her debut EP Molly's World.

Praised for her blending of rage rap, trap and punk music, she began gaining a cult following before being signed by Capitol Records in 2024. Santana's mainstream breakthrough came in May 2026 when she featured alongside Future on the single Ran to Atlanta from Drake's highly anticipated album Iceman, which saw her gain ten million monthly listeners on Spotify overnight. The 21 year old looks set to add to her biggest year yet with festival appearances in the US and Europe, as well as a sold-out show at London's KOKO on July 5. Earlier this week she announced a joint North American tour with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter North West, and is expected to release her third studio album Black Punk later this year.
