BBYMutha - sleep paralysis '2024

Tracks list

Hailing from Chattanooga, TN, bbymutha is a female force of nature. With a
soundscape heavily influenced by southern culture, she blends her life
experiences into hard hitting raps. Actual mother of four, bbymutha pointedly
brandishes her sexuality in the face of respectability politics. Sometimes
vulgar, and never shy, bbymutha is always open, honest, and real.

When bbymutha unveiled her twenty-five-track debut album Muthaland in 2020, she
simultaneously declared that it would be her last official release. Following
the record’s celebrated arrival, she wrote on Twitter: “fuck this
shit. its way too stressful for no fucking reason.” And with that, we
could have had both the beginning and end of bbymutha. But as an artist with
such natural charisma and flair, the Chattanooga rapper thankfully wasn’t
absent for long, going on to release a steady stream of EPs, starting with
Muthaleficient 2 in March 2021. What followed was a gradual strengthening and
reinforcing of her ​​Southern rap ingenuity, bolstered by frank
and confessional takes on sex, trauma and lived experience.

Now, in 2024, we’re getting the next chapter in the bbymutha journey with
Sleep Paralysis, an album that propels the rapper forward, while casting an eye
back to childhood memories enveloped by sleeplessness and ensuing turbulence.
Sonically, Sleep Paralysis diverges from bbymutha’s trademark expression,
but only in its added sprinkling of 90s UK garage and dance, the inspiration for
which came from her time spent on tour in the UK post-lockdown.
