Cristale is a unique talent. At just 23 she’s a supremely skilled rapper, poet, storyteller, visual artist and university student, with a number of viral freestyles to her name and several singles, including recent underground hit ‘Morgan’. Also including ‘Whites’ and ‘See Myself’, much of her recent output is broadly classifiable as drill, but she refuses to be categorised as a drill rapper and is adept at rapping over any beat.
She grew up in a Caribbean household in south London, raised by her mum and family, she was surrounded by women for much of her childhood. She has a good relationship with her dad, but growing up her uncle — himself an artist — who encouraged her to pick up her pen. He helped her write her first bars when she was in primary school, then the next day she took them to the playground for rap battles with other kids. Often rapping against boys, invariably she won.
Her skill is in telling stories from her community through rap, dealing with issues like knife crime and gang conflict. “I’m spitting realities,” she says. “It’s not necessarily my realities, but a lot of people around me have experienced certain things that they don't know how to speak about, so in order to raise awareness,I use my music to shed light on communal flaws.”
Recent Cristale releases include “Bong Bing ”, No Time (feat. Nia Archives, Beenie Man, Cristale & ShaSimone) to most recently “Far Away ”.
