RAHRAH GABOR
NYC/North Jersey
Rahrah Gabor is a rapper & songwriter who’s summed up in a word. Unruly. She’s also an amalgam of all the things that makes unruly rappers great: critical presence, pointed and layered lyrics, hood savvy, a unique sense of style and an incorrigible self-possession that bucks at nay-sayers. Gabor harkens to the golden age of hip-hop channeling Lil Kim and Jadakiss though she isn't a revivalist. Rahrah’s work explores her youth and her day-to-day life living in America. After self-releasing two EPs, Rahrah went on to catch the eyes and ears of outlets like Afropunk, photographer Ryan McGinley whose latest books and exhibitions have featured her and artists like Buke and Gase who she’s supported at Mercury Lounge. She also played Slay TV’s inaugural SlayFest at Brooklyn Academy of Music , the MOCADA and the DICE Festival in Berlin. If you ask her, she’ll admit to having first dove into hip-hop to prove a point. But Rahrah would like to become the kind of challenge an increasingly challenged industry
