Willow Smith may be dubbed a fashion icon at just nine-years-old, but we think she's going to be much more than that. She's got the hottest single in the country right now with "Whip My Hair" and the music video has already gone viral. Stylistically it's like Lady Gaga meets Lil Mama and Rihanna. Perhaps being on Jay-Z's label Roc Nation doesn't hurt, because the song is incredibly well produced and well promoted, but there's something else. She has something we haven't seen since... her father Will Smith came on the scene as the Fresh Prince.

The reason Willow Smith is going to be huge is simple: she's incredibly cool and has a good message, but she's keeping it PG. After all, the girl is nine. But when was the last time you listened to a song by a tween? On repeat? As a teenager Will Smith mastered the same formula with fun but positive hit songs like "Summertime" and "Parents Just Don't Understand," and even won the first rap Grammy of all time by age 20. Willow has a long way to go, but she's started off on the right path with a message that's hip but also important. She told Ryan Seacrest on KISS FM's morning show that "Whip My Hair" means being an individual. "Like, you can't be afraid of yourself. You have to be yourself and you can't let anyone tell you that it's wrong!" Per her lyrics "Don't let haters keep me off my grind/Keep my head up I know i'll be fine."

Willow's style is fearless, and with famous parents and celeb fans like Justin Beiber we're sure people of all ages will take notice. She's already caught our eye and our ears!
