Description

Introduction that I wrote about Che’ Noir in 2019: Che Noir, an emcee from Buffalo, New York. I first got put onto @che_noir when I saw the video for “Champion” about 5 months ago, & in no time was impressed with her strong lyrical capabilities, her flow, & the passion in her delivery as she rapped about her upbringing. She has released a handful of mixtapes over the years, with her most recent being The Thrill of the Hunt 2 (note: it got a stamp of approval from DJ Premier himself), which is super dope & dropped in June. With a furious flow, gritty bars, & some wildly poetic rhymes that’ll make you double-take, her music is balanced by harsh realities & verbal threats, to emotional pain & personal memories. You’ll find her verbally assaulting opponents with a sharp tongue, (rightfully) boasting about her lyrical skillset, speaking on violent life in Buffalo, & shedding light on injustices… to opening up about tumultuous relationships, reflecting on family pain, struggling with money, losing loved ones, & turning her life around through hip hop. All over hard-hitting boom bap cuts. 🎤 Some other thangs? She’s signed to TCF Music Group, founded by 38 Spesh. She’s a FIERCE freestyler. Earlier this year, she spoke to high school students about college, music, & chasing dreams. Che’s a force to be reckoned with & she’s only getting started. Check out all of her music now & then look out for her debut album, The Essence, sometime next year.

FYI: She has released a ton of new music since I wrote this introduction. Go stream + purchase her latest project, titled After 12.
