Self-described as "hip hop's Omar Little from The Wire only prettier" with her rhymes as her shotgun, Rahrah raps about everything from street life to twerking with the word play of Lil' Wayne and the lewdness of Lil' Kim. Rahrah Gabor's music is original, raw, real and unruly. She holds nothing back and her fans often pause and question," Did she really just say that?".Raised between the inner-cities of Asbury Park and Newark NJ, Gabor started rapping in the 10th grade to prove to her classmates that a queer person can rap just as well, if not better, as their straight counterparts. She cites 1990s New York hip hop as her primary influence, including artists like Notorious B.I.G., Lil' Kim, Jadakiss, Foxy Brown and Nas. A hungry artist with a searing passion for music, Rahrah Gabor is ready to show hip-hop what a queer rapper can really do on the mic while simultaneously challenging notions of race and the conventions of heteronormativity.
