B of Briz is a rapper / producer making alternative hip hop mainly in her bedroom, in Bristol, UK.

With a PhD in Philosophy, a passion for feminism and social justice, and an obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, B shows up in full weirdness making sincerity rap / wonk-hop with bassy Bristol vibes.

B is a masked, pseudonymous artist – which she describes as a boundary, not a mystery!

B started releasing music in Summer 2022, starting with her debut single ‘What Would Buffy Do?’ and her debut EP ‘Forty-two’ in Autumn 2022. It’s B’s guide to life, the universe and everything in the year she turned (you guessed it!) 42. It was championed by Tom Robinson on his BBC 6 Music show the Introducing Mixtape, who picked B’s debut track as a top track of 2022 on his annual Mixtape of that year.

In Spring 2023, B won first prize in the ‘Future Sound of Bristol’ competition, securing cash towards her first full length album.

B released her debut album ‘An Encyclopedia of Patriarchy (incomplete)’ in Autumn 2024, following a slate of Summer singles, some of which were featured by Steve Lamacq and Nemone on BBC 6 Music. The album explored themes of the thinking patterns and tropes of misogyny, and how Patriarchal systems/culture harm the people living in them.

B’s influences run from the trip hop and dub and hip hop and DnB she’s heard around her in Bristol since the 90s, through to UK artists like Little Simz, Kae Tempest, John Glacier, Stacy N.K.R, and The Streets, and from further afield, Baba Brinkman, Issa Rae, Dead Prez, Wu Tang are floating through this in one way or another.

B writes with a distinct perspective – her vocal raw, imperfect, messy as she is, a radical riposte to the inhumane contours of AI generated, autotuned so-called perfection.

One of Amazing Radio’s ‘Tips for 2025’, B’s setting out to offer a Summer of singles from her forthcoming EP ‘Solace’ - itself releasing September 2025 - representing a sincere attempt at connection, and consolation in a moment when fascistic movements are trying to separate us.
