DISK Welcomes Bbymutha

Counting tracks produced by artists such as Suicideyear, LSDXOXO, and London’s God Colony, Tennessee rapper Bbymutha's sound is as genre-defying as it is woman-positive. Defying her religious upbringing, in the Bbymutha universe (a.k.a., The Mutha Land), women are allowed to be (if not downright celebrated for being) sexual, vulgar, ambitious, and savvy. She's also turned a lifestyle society might deem unwise if not downright impossible — being a self-professed stay-at-home-mom-of 4 kids who earns her living as an artist — into a veritable goal. By her very existence, Bbymutha is a champion of the people without ever having to say so. Her debut album Muthaland will be released April 2019.
