From the vibrant streets of Oakland by way of Chicago, Gianna Farren is shaking up the rap and R&B scene with her powerful voice, razor-sharp pen, and fearless attitude. A hybrid of intellect and attitude, soul and fire—Gianna is the kind of artist who doesn’t just drop songs, she delivers moments. And her latest single, “Play Like That,” dropping August 18, 2025, is exactly that.
Following the buzz from her Twista-inspired debut single “Rush,” and ahead of her highly anticipated album Cold Piece (arriving October 4), “Play Like That” is Gianna’s boldest release yet. It’s an anthem for anyone who knows their worth, setting boundaries and standards while still flexing style and sensuality.

With her signature blend of ratchet meets refined, Gianna brings bars that bite and vocals that melt. Her wordplay is tongue-in-cheek and unapologetically sharp, offering both attitude and vulnerability in a way few artists can pull off. Whether she’s spitting truth about love, loyalty, or self-worth, Gianna makes it sound good and feel real.
Her resume speaks volumes. Gianna has opened for legends like Kanye West, Common, Tek9, and more—earning her stripes on stages where only the real shine. Her artistry has been molded by icons, but her voice? Entirely her own.
“My music is the real me,” Gianna says.
“It’s classy, it’s crazy, it’s clever. It’s all the parts of a woman they try to make us hide.”
Drawing inspiration from greats like Nicki Minaj, Teyana Taylor, SZA, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay-Z, she’s carving out a space for herself in that rare lane of artists who speak to the mind, body, and soul.
If you’re ready for music that empowers, seduces, and speaks truth all at once, Gianna Farren is your next obsession.
Mark your calendar — “Play Like That” arrives August 18, and it’s a must-hear.
