OBUXUM’s latest EP, H.E.R., released via URBNET on Apr. 20, embodies her inspirations and reflections, to the feel of a rhythmic pulse. She tells her un-silenced story of what it is to navigate this world as a Somali-Canadian womxn.
“The blk, brwn, and indigenous womxn have inspired me endlessly to remain courageous, daring and bold. That’s what she represents.”
H.E.R. exemplifies OBUXUM’s progression as an artist, by building on her previous works, Luul, ITIYAMA, and 2991. The record carries through an alternative blend of hip-hop and electronics, creating a raw and unnameable vibe.
