Bktherula Interview: Lucy, Kanye & Uzi Collabs, Ice Spice, Starting a Wave for Female Underground

Подробнее о видео

In this interview, Arshan sat down for a conversation with one of our generation’s most respected underground rap veterans Bktherula at LoudMouth Brooklyn ahead of the release of her forthcoming album ‘Lucy’. Since the initial explosion of her singles “LEFT RIGHT” & “Tweakin’ Together” back in 2019, Bk has occupied a constant presence in the scene thanks to her evolving sound that has matured from popular singles to more cohesive projects like ‘LOVE BLACK’ & ‘LVL5 P2’. Following the viral drop of the album’s lead single “Adult Swim” Bk is setting the groundwork for her next release, which she claims will be her most world-building project yet.

In their conversation Arshan & Bktherula talk about everything from her favorite Call of Duty maps, to her relationship with spirituality, to having a full unreleased album with Lil Uzi Vert still on the shelf. Bk revealed what she’s been listening to lately from Tame Impala to Brennan Jones and the fact that she hasn’t gotten to KSI’s “Thick Of It” yet. Bk also reflects on being one of the most widely accepted female artists in the underground and how talking about God with with her fans have brought them closer. Since blowing up her sound has undeniably influenced the sounds and aesthetics of the new gen underground but she’s not salty about having clones bite her swag. She also unveiled the story behind the infamous link with Ice Spice, PinkPantheress, & Tyla and all the down bad comments that surrounded it on Twitter, all before going to Six Flags for the first time right after the interview!
