Milwaukee-born rapper Mudy continues to prove that leaving the city doesn’t mean leaving her roots behind. Now based in Atlanta, Mudy keeps one foot firmly planted in the Cream City scene with “options,” a punchy new single that landed on July 27.

Clocking in at just over two minutes, “options” doesn’t waste a single second. The track moves with an uptempo, high-energy pulse that mirrors Mudy’s unapologetic delivery. There’s a bright, almost triumphant feel to the production—this isn’t a brooding late-night cut, it’s the soundtrack to making bold moves and owning every single one of them.

Mudy first made waves with her 2019 debut EP What’s Next, earning love from Radio Milwaukee and Milwaukee Magazine as one of the city’s artists to watch. Since then, she’s steadily built a catalog that balances Atlanta’s polished rap aesthetics with Milwaukee’s raw, no-nonsense energy. “options” is the latest proof that Mudy knows exactly who she is and isn’t interested in apologizing for it.
