Tommy Genesis
A stylish alternative hip hop artist.
"There are no rules to art," says Tommy Genesis. "There are no rules to creation, and there are so many exemptions.” While this assertion describes her own art, and flexes to the strength of her music methodology, it's also an apt assessment of Tommy's overall identity. She is the exemption to the rule. She is the epitome of standing out by not fitting in. Her inaugural offering, World Vision, arrived to mostly cult (and some critical) acclaim, showcasing Tommy's raw, trance-like poetic prowess. She followed up with her self-titled debut, Tommy Genesis, led by Charlie Heat productions Tommy and 100 Bad - Charli XCX Remix. She calls her latest work, goldilocks x "a creative sweet spot,” a labeling that rings true when considering her mix of the sickly sweet peppermint, the self-empowering single a woman is a god, and an indictment of a record titled men. Yet in 2023 with a feature on Lana Del Rey’s Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, her “fetish rap” cult following is coming up for air.
