Sporting her mohawk may only leave her with half a head of hair, but for Willow Smith, that’s just enough to “whip.”

The pint-sized priss debuted her first single, “Whip My Hair,” this week, and with major radio stations already adding this cute kiddie jam to their rotations, love it or hate it, you WILL hear it.

Not sure how well-versed a nine year old is in the art of “swagg,” but “Whip My Hair’s” infectious beat and catchy hook are hot enough to compete with hits from pop stars twice and three times Miss Willow’s age.  Her talent and style alone create a pretty solid foundation for this budding little rocker, and an added bonus is that, Hollywood ”IT” couple, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, are her parents.

And Jay-Z, one half of another Hollywood power duo, signed Willow to his Roc Nation label.

Three words: Set.For.Life

As we speak, I am sitting in front of the mirror, flat ironing my tresses so my hair will whip perfectly when I’m out on the town tonight.

I’m kinda feeling that Willow has a winner with this track.  Do you think ”Whip My Hair” will be a success?

    YES! i totally believe the song will be a hit – I LOVE IT – as will willow’s career. just from some of the interviews i’ve seen her do, she seems to be very well-spoken. will + jada also seem to be very involved in their children’s careers, so i’m hoping her career is a positive one…not like some of the other kiddie stars turned hoochies {sorry, couldn’t think of a better word, LOL!}

  3. Thanks for commenting, ladies. I totally agree – Will and Jada are a phenomenal example of awesome Hollywood parenting. It you’ve ever seen “Wills Wisdom” videos on youtube, check them out. Really inspiring. They both seem to want to raise their children to really understand the value of hard work, gratitude and humbleness. Very cool!
