## About

I am 87xLUE, an independent rapper, producer, and creative from Los Angeles. I make music that connects underground hip hop with cumbia, trap, Latin influence, and the stories that shape me. I create for listeners, artists, and live crowds who want honest bars, original beats, and a sound that refuses to stay in one lane. From recording sessions to shows, I bring heart, culture, and energy to every release.
