艺人介绍
Tierra Whack is an artist and rapper from North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a teenager, she performed as Dizzle Dizz and reverted back to her birth name in 2017.
Early life and education
Whack has written poetry since she was a child. She is also an accomplished spoken word performer.
Whack attended The Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush for three years before finishing high school in Atlanta, Georgia. At Benjamin Rush, she was a vocal major and fine arts minor, and was one of few black students in a predominantly white graduating class. With some difficulty, she and her friends persuaded their principal to let them perform the finale number from Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit for the school talent show, and Whack performed a rap verse. Later in Whack's career, she toured with Lauryn Hill, who starred in the 1993 film.
At age fifteen, Whack appeared in a 2011 freestyle video produced by Philadelphia's underground music collective We Run the Streets. She released several tracks as Dizzle Dizz, including "Dizzy Rascvls," but struggled with depression in the months following. Her mother elected to move them both out of Philadelphia, so Whack could finish school.
Musical career
By 2015, Whack had moved back to Philadelphia, where she reconnected with Kenete Simms, a sound engineer and music producer whom she had known as a teenager. Whack credits Simms as her collaborator. Sometime in 2017 (Whack hasn't divulged details to the press), she signed with Interscope Records.
In October 2017, Whack released Mumbo Jumbo, a hip-hop single and accompanying music video which featured the young rapper performing while wearing a mouth prop. Most of the lyrics to the track are purposefully unintelligible.
Debut album
Whack's debut album, Whack World, received a "Best New Music" accolade from Pitchfork. Critics praised the unusual format of the album — 15 tracks exactly 1 minute long. Whack released each short track on Instagram, each accompanied by a short film directed by Thibaut Duverneix and Mathieu Léger. The multimedia project received widespread critical acclaim. Robert Christgau gave the album an A-minus and reported in Vice that his wife, fellow critic Carola Dibbell, loved the video, saying "it gave me reason for living".
In 2018, she toured with 6lack on his world tour, "From East Atlanta With Love."

- @梁朝萎：Tierra whack：So we looked at Instagram, and Instagram is 60 seconds [max for a video].We were like, ‘Yo, let’s do a song that’s a collection of 60 seconds, and just rock out.’ So I started to record 60-second songs, and just shut it off at sixty seconds.”
