Mercedes Lott grew up in an era where your car was more than just transportation—it was a trophy. If you had a ride sitting on Gold Ones and Vogues, you had status. Coming of age during the Hyphy Era, she was drawn to the culture of “scrapers,” captivated by fly whips with rims, sound systems, and candy paint.

Her love for cars was fueled by her older sister, Dr. Tanisha Cannon, aka Tee, who handed her the keys to her Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles, giving her an early introduction to the streets. She deepened her knowledge alongside her play brothers, Kenny Clutch and Kiel, who put her on game about Buick Regals, sparking a lifelong love for the Buick brand.

In 2017, her grandfather passed down a piece of family history—his 1969 Buick LeSabre, “Big Mama.” This car became more than just a ride; it became the foundation of Keyystodacedes, a brand that blends car culture, music, lifestyle, and authenticity.

Today, Keyystodacedes is more than just content—it's a movement. Mercedes brings a fresh, unapologetic voice to the automotive space, proving that women—especially Black and Mexican women—belong in the car game. She’s built a loyal following by embracing her roots, sharing her passion, and putting on for the culture.

Beyond the cars, she’s a mom, influencer, rapper, and entrepreneur, running Ziy Branding and pushing Keyystodalifestyle, a fitness and wellness extension of her brand. Whether she’s hosting car shows, creating viral content, or inspiring the next generation of women in the game, Mercedes is a force—proving that with hustle, horsepower, and heart, you can turn your passion into your empire.
