Join us in an online listening party for 'Shape Up,' the finale of Leikeli47’s three-part, beauty-themed album trilogy. Louder Than A Riot host Sidney Madden will lead a conversation with the rapper and producer.
'Shape Up' comes four years after 'Acrylic' and is the result of an intense period of self reflection and growth for Leikeli47. Known for covering her face with either a mask or bandana, Leikeli47 lets the art speak for itself. “In an era when women are no longer the anomaly but rap's new standard bearers, Leikeli47 deserves all the praise for pushing the genre forward with both feet steeped firmly in tradition,” NPR Music’s Rodney Carmichael wrote in 2019 for Leikeli47’s Tiny Desk performance. 'Shape Up,' a declaration of self love and confidence, comes out May 13.
