BLVQ IRIS

Rapper, producer, songwriter, and entrepreneur, BLVQ IRIS is a dynamic, thought-provoking young artist, emerging as a strong voice in the Cape Town hip hop scene. Inspired by the likes of Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, and South Africa's legendary hip hop veterans ProKid and AKA, her musical message is unique yet familiar with the times. Her fusion of trap and alternative R&B, multilingual delivery, and intersectional perspective on South Africa's social dynamics, set her apart musically from the current sound of female emcees. Her sound blends dark trap production with introspective, personal and socially defying lyrics, often delivered in English, isiXhosa, and Afrikaans, reflecting Cape Town’s multicultural diaspora.
