Chanel West Coast's Sexiest Pics
Chanel West Coast is a rising rapper with a killer Instagram game. 15 sexy pics.

It’s an interesting time to be a white female rapper. Iggy Azalea’s headline-grabbing roller coaster ride with fame has been painstakingly documented in the press, while Brooke Candy recently reemerged with “Rubber Band Stacks” after a year of radio silence. It’s a situation Chanel West Coast touches on in an interview with Billboard. “Many artists feel resistance on the way up,” she admits. “I just wanted to express myself and put out music of how I’m feeling.”

The 26-year-old, who is probably best-known for hosting MTV’s Ridiculousness and ruling Instagram with sexy snaps, was signed to Young Money in 2012 and released her first mixtape Now You Know the following year. She’s been working on her debut LP ever since (it can take a while, ask Azealia Banks) and just dropped another collection of tracks to keep fans satisfied. And the 11-song set shows significant growth.

Waves boasts features from Liam Horne, Lano, and B Real, but the real highlight is YG-assisted club-banger “I Like New.” Produced by Rich Skillz, the fiery anthem finds Chanel clapping back at her haters and bragging about her glamorous lifestyle. The Compton rapper steps in at the end with a verse about bra cup sizes and his “nuts.” It’s better than it sounds! Listen to the full mixtape below.
