Backxwash
Friday
Backxwash is a rapper and producer born in Lusaka, Zambia. The music she makes is cathartic, expressive and based on her lived experiences. Her latest album ‘HIS HAPPINESS SHALL COME FIRST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUFFERING’ concludes a trilogy of albums which began in 2020. The series is primarily auto-biographical, with fragments of stories from her periphery. Her work is based in the horrorcore, hip-hop and industrial metal genres, and includes a culmination of themes around the intersection between faith, identity, and queerness.
