Lavida Loca is a unique force in the UK rap scene. Armed with a potent blend of street rap, the 22 year old newcomer twists true tales from life on the roads into compelling narratives. With just a few singles to her name, her passionate, raw storytelling has already caught the ear of the likes of Virgil Abloh, Fraser T. Smith and Kenny Allstar, with plenty more soon to come.

Following the two singles that have served as our introduction to Lavida’s world, ‘No ID’ firing shots at fakes and ‘The King’s Back’, a celebration of post incarceration freedom, 'I Been’ scores a hat trick. Produced by longtime Giggs collaborator Bayoz Muzik, it centres around a Latin piano riff, with Peckham rapper C.S offering a response to Lavida’s call.

Upping her work rate at lightning pace, Lavida has been in the studio with producers with the most recognisable tags in the game, including Diztortion, 169, The FaNaTiX and Gotcha.

With serious plans in the pipeline for the coming year, Lavida Loca is just getting started. “I know my bars, I know how to formulate them, I know how I'm delivering it. I know my craft.”
