Rikki Blu

Rikki Blu never had a problem expressing himself. The youngest of three, born in Dallas TX to a social activist and a social butterfly, Rikki learned quickly to command the attention of his audiences. Whether pleading for privileges or politicking his position, a young Rikki Blu’s gift of gab paired almost infallibly with the electric charge of emotion that fueled his expressions. This truth proved definitive as Blu approached young adulthood, choosing music as his medium and lyrics his preferred language. Having sprouted to an imposing 6-ft 8-in, his talent towered as ostensibly as his physical presence. The gravity and magnitude of his message proved just as capable of locking the attention of listeners and illustrating his convictions whether over instrumentals or a cappella. The combination of his command and captivation, with unshaken honesty and vulnerability has uniquely characterized Rikki to audiences worldwide, proving he’s truly one-of-one. Possessing a stylistic range that spans an infinite creative and contextual spectrum, a respect for the craft that sharpens his skill and challenges his pen with each output, through visceral lyricism and a profound ability to create worlds from words, Rikki champions a social and universal enlightenment by revealing uncomfortable truths, and insisting better from himself, his people and even his opposition. Rikki Blu’s raps represent a revolution. A revolution of thought, a revolution of perspective, a revolution of convention.
