In the heart of Brooklyn, a bold new wave of R&B is rising, led by an artist who’s not just shaking up the scene but rewriting the rules altogether. Meet Ashley Robinson, better known as Buttafrossty—a name that’s already becoming synonymous with raw talent, unapologetic authenticity, and a sound that demands attention. Buttafrossty isn’t just another R&B artist; she’s a cultural force whose music pulses with the energy of Brooklyn and a fierce dedication to her roots.
Born on December 1st, 1989, in the vibrant borough of Brooklyn, Buttafrossty has always been deeply connected to her community. Growing up in the eclectic neighborhoods of Bed-Stuy and Brownsville/Flatbush, her music reflects the rich mix of cultures, struggles, and triumphs that define her environment. “Brooklyn is my heartbeat,” she says. “It’s where I’m from, and I wear that pride with every lyric. My music is about being real, being unapologetically me, and sharing my story in a way that anyone who’s been through struggle can understand.”
Buttafrossty’s journey into music wasn’t typical. Raised by her late grandmother, she was surrounded by music from a young age, but it wasn’t until high school that she discovered her true calling. After the passing of her grandmother, Buttafrossty was destined to pursue a career in music. It started with freestyling in the halls, battling in cyphers with friends, and eventually finding her voice through writing. What began as playful verses quickly morphed into a powerful form of self-expression. Her music, a potent blend of raw vocals, emotional depth, clever wordplay, and bold lyricism, quickly set her apart.
With the release of her latest singles, “Slide” and “OFC” (short for “of course”), Buttafrossty is making waves in the R&B community. Her music is not only being heard but felt, echoing through speakers and playlists worldwide. She also took the R&B genre by storm with latest project “4LetterWord”, which has captured the attention of listeners everywhere, blending smooth melodies with thought-provoking lyrics.
But it’s not just her music that makes Buttafrossty a game-changer. She’s a voice for the voiceless, an inspiration for anyone who’s ever faced adversity. Through her authenticity, she’s showing the world that no matter where you come from, dreams are within reach. “I want to push boundaries, break stereotypes, and keep creating music that speaks to the heart,” she says. “Brooklyn raised me, and now I’m here to show the world what we’re all about.”
As Buttafrossty’s star continues to rise, there’s no question that she’s carving out her own lane in an industry often crowded with copycats. Her fierce lyricism, fearless individuality, and grounded perspective are ushering in a new era for hip-hop and R&B—one where authenticity reigns and everyone has a seat at the table.
“I’m just getting started,” she says with a smile. “There’s so much more I want to do. I want to create new opportunities, push limits, and make music that moves people.” From Brooklyn to the world, Buttafrossty is making her mark, and the future of hip-hop and R&B has never looked brighter. Get ready—this is just the beginning.
