Since their formation in Atlanta around 2016, Vanity Rose has been carving out their own distinctive space in the world of R&B, hip hop, and modern pop music. Comprised of three dynamic and talented women—Sadiya “Honey” Lora, Kori “Hazel” Littlejohn, and Kortni “Hennessy” Littlejohn—the trio represents not just musical cohesion but a collective vision rooted in empowerment, authenticity, and unapologetic expression.
Vanity Rose’s story began when the three young women met in high school in Atlanta, Georgia. Though they came from different personal backgrounds, their shared passion for music and performance quickly bonded them. Early on, each member contributed unique strengths—Honey with her sultry vocal delivery, Hazel with her lyrical edge, and Hennessy with her charismatic versatility—creating a well-rounded and compelling musical unit.
Their journey has always been more than simply making songs; it’s been about crafting an identity. Growing up with challenges and navigating the competitive music world fueled their drive to not just succeed but stand out as a fresh, assertive voice among female groups.
Musically, Vanity Rose blends R&B harmonies with the rhythms and attitude of hip hop, creating a hybrid sound that respects both genres while pushing boundaries. Their lyrics often explore themes of empowerment, self-confidence, relationships, and defying societal norms—delivered with both vulnerability and boldness.
This versatility is evident in their catalog: from the bold energy of their debut single “Fck Face”*—an anthem celebrating confidence and defiance of social expectations—to later releases like “Anywhere,”which underscores their evolving craftsmanship and artistic range.
Vanity Rose’s professional trajectory has been marked by key industry collaborations and mentorship. Managed by record executive Michael “Blue” Williams—known for his work with major artists across hip hop and R&B—the group has worked with renowned producers and songwriters like DJ Chose and 1500 or Nothin’, reinforcing their sound with polished production and creative depth.
Their creative process emphasizes collective input, with each member actively shaping both music and image. This collaborative approach not only fuels their artistic output but strengthens the individual voices within the group, making their music feel authentic and personally invested.
Vanity Rose has steadily increased their visibility through performances and notable appearances. They have taken the stage at events like the One Love One Mic Concert Series in Miami—a platform that highlights emerging talent and community engagement.
In addition to their original work, Vanity Rose has paid homage to the legacy of girl groups that came before them. In a tribute video released during Black Music Month, they honored influential acts such as TLC, Total, and Destiny’s Child—acknowledging the trail these predecessors blazed and their own desire to carry that legacy forward.
Over the years, the trio has expanded their musical catalog with memorable singles and projects. In 2022, they released a three-song “3-Pack” featuring “Pretty Girls Get Lonely,” “Deserve Dat,” and “Any Btch”*—tracks that reflect their Atlanta roots and blend melodic rap with hard-hitting rhythms. This release preceded their participation in Coi Leray’s “Trendsetter Tour,” exposing them to broader audiences across major U.S. cities.
Their discography continues to grow, and recent releases like “Wrapped Tight” (released in December 2025) showcase the group’s ongoing creative evolution and commitment to their craft.
Vanity Rose stands out not just for their music, but for what they represent: a modern, self-assured female collective unafraid to challenge stereotypes, uplift their community, and shape their own narrative. Their journey reflects the hard work of independent artists blending genre boundaries, engaging with contemporary culture, and earning respect on their own terms.
