Suboi

[SalvaWHORE 33,037]

Okay, i think it's time for me to introduce to the Board one of my personal favorite musician from my home country - Suboi

 

birthname: Hàng Lâm Trang Anh

birthday: 01.14.1990,

 

 

 

Known by her stage name Suboi, she is a Vietnamese rapper, singer, and songwriter.

Born & raised in Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon), Suboi is one of the first Vietnamese female rappers to become successful in the country and is considered as Vietnam's queen of Hip-hop.

When asking about her artistry, she cited Azealia Banks, Da Brat, Nicki Minaj, Linkin Park, Eminem, Aaliyah, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Foxy Brown, Missy Elliot, M.I.A. as her influence. She also listens to jazz music a lot (some of her works are interesting combination between jazz, RnB & hip-hop as well).

 

She also said on her instagram story livestream that she likes Grimes alot, she also listens to MARINA, FKA twigs, ROSALIA as well.

 

 

Some of her best works that y'all need to listen to (i recommend y'all to turn on the English subtitle because her lyricism is top-notch imo):

 

 

 

She also teamed up with Hikaru Utada for the remix version of "Too Proud" from her album HATSUKOI in 2018

 

Now time to stan Suboi my loves

a fun fact: Azealia Banks follows her on instagram as well. I was surprised when I found out that Azealia knows her.

The eras:

 

WALK (2010)

 

RUN (2014)

 

NO NÊ (2021)

interestingly, the title of the album is called "NO NÊ" - which means "FULL" in English, but if it's stylized in English, it will be "NONE" - nothing.

FULL but NONE, it's one of the main theme she explores in this era. It's her first concept album and in my opinion, her magnum opus in her artistry.

on first listen i thought it was alright but nothing special but it's growing on me a lot

it's really different from anything else i think i've heard before (which i assume is because i've literally been surrounded by western music and even the eastern music i've heard is heavily western influenced so it's definitely an interesting listen but in a good way)

 

i'll check more of her stuff out
