Blimes

Blimes creates music to emulate and encourage emotions everyone can relate to, guiding listeners through their feels with her signature hard-hitting bars, clever lyric play, and seamless ability to make you unafraid to cry in the club. Her work invites listeners into her dreamy world, offering an unapologetic vulnerability that inspires empathy, self-reflection, and infectious head bobbin’.

Blimes draws inspiration from her Bay Area upbringing, where she was surrounded by blues and jazz. One half of dynamic rap duo Blimes and Gab, Blimes first cut her music teeth with local battle raps, where she learned to put smart lyrics together with a quick wit. The rapper has collaborated with Method Man, Atmosphere, and Murs, toured internationally, and was featured on Annie Mac’s “Hottest Record” series.

Beyond her still-growing list of elite music collaborations, Blimes has been recognized for her unique approach to human-first hip hop by the likes of De La Soul, Rah Digga, and Bahamadia, along with major cultural outlets like Vogue, BBC One, and grammy.com.

Her latest album, Solo Mission, highlights the healing journey Blimes has openly been on throughout the past few years. The album – which tackles topics like healthy solitude, breaking bad habits, and self-love – boldly strips the rapper raw to encourage a collective healing that will ultimately strengthen our communities.

“We have to take care of ourselves so we can take care of each other.” - Blimes
