ABOUT KENZO B:
Kenzo B is the first lady of Bronx drill and she sounds unstoppable. The 18-year-old’s high-speed bars of fury have quickly become a signature style earning her acclaim and attention from the streets to the industry and beyond. She released a handful of songs in ’22 including her breakthrough single “Bump It” before her high-school graduation which has now surpassed 1.2 million video views and nearly 200K song streams in just five months’ time. She also dropped the “The Realest,” which Pitchfork raved “Kenzo B sets her cruise control way above the speed limit” in their The Ones column as Must-Hear Rap Song Of The Day. Kenzo B knew what she was capable of from a young age. Perfecting her craft with her brother and fellow drill-rapper Bando at the age of 8, she would go on to make music and perform them in talent shows by the time she was ten. Finally getting the recognition she deserves, and with her major-label debut project on the horizon, the new “Queen of Bronx Drill,” Kenzo B, is paving the way in a genre dominated by men.
