Suboi, a Vietnamese rapper born in Hang Lam Trang Anh, is one of the country’s most recognizable talents. She’s known for her unique style and appearances in advertisements for Adidas and Samsung.
She began writing rhymes when she was 15 years old. She also taught English and worked as a kid’s party clown to support herself while pursuing her music career.
Suboi’s story
Vietnamese rapper Suboi performs a heartfelt piano version of her latest single ‘Best Friend’ on colors studios. With a pink backdrop and the microphone in her hands, she delivered a heart-wrenching performance.
Hang Lam Trang Anh, better known as suboi, is the first Vietnamese female rapper to make a name for herself internationally. Born in Ho Chi Minh City, she began listening to rap as a rebellious teenager. Her parents initially didn’t approve of her choice in music, but now support her career.
While most rappers rap about the world of luxury, bad boys and sometimes even an escape, Suboi’s music has a unique signature that’s centered on her hometown of Saigon. The lyrics in her songs often focus on trivial aspects of life that only those who have lived in the city can understand.
For her debut on COLORS, the Vietnamese artist performed a piano version of her track ‘Best Friend’ from her recent album NO-NE. The song is a heartbreaking depiction of a relationship that never ended.
The music video for the single, filmed by Alexa Karolinski, features images of Suboi surrounded by glasses of 333 atop an apartment complex balcony as well as fruit in a market stall. The clip was shot in Saigon and depicts a mix of everyday life.
Despite being the first Vietnaese female rapper, Suboi had to overcome a number of challenges during her early days in the industry. She says she had difficulty finding her own message to the audience and forming her own style. In addition, the audience in her country had a preconception that rap is only for men.
But she persevered and eventually gained a loyal fan base in her native country. Her debut album WALK released in 2010 received positive feedback from fans and critics alike. She went on to release a second album RUN in 2014 with beats produced by both local and international producers.
Suboi has since topped the charts in her home country, making her a household name and earning her the nickname “The Queen of Hip-Hop” in Vietnam. The young star is a major force in an emerging scene that’s largely driven by an increasing desire for youth to reach out culturally in previously unthinkable ways.
