bitter camari

black trans rapper from the USA; based out of PDX. shoegazy, sometimes ambient trap/drill-esque vibes. cloud rap energy. been working since ~2014.

‘I was raised in NYC and absorbed New England and Caribbean culture from my parents; recently, this has turned my ear towards UK drill, Afrobeats, and music from all over the diaspora.

I’m a major fan of dub, ambient, sleep, tea, being alone, and spending time in-person with my close ones.

I was around when cloud rap was coming into prominence with Lil B, Xaiver Wulf, and Yung Lean; I fell in love with the sound and its been a major influence on my approach to music and writing since. I love writing. much of my focus falls there when making work.’

dreams

dreams is a solo project from dafloretta’s bedroom in portland, or.

music of life:
gay love, bad job, divine-in-all, and dappled sunlight.
sloppy boppy art pop, fire tones and earthy beats.

raised in so-cal, quenched in no-po, moves in scenes and moods sporadic.

songs through body—trans and tired—streams that gift me truth and power.

find me skating board or learning Torah.

I make weirdo music. A little bit of Vaporwave, Breakcore, IBM, and Digital Hardcore swirls into a blend I can only accurately describe as Trans Electronica (maybe WebCore? Maybe HyperPunk? Idk????)

Experimental rap production is at the core of my artistic inspiration, with JPEGMAFIA and Injury Reserve among others being a consistent influence in my journey, even as I have absorbed myself in rave culture and explored a broad range of EDM.

I love video games. Half-Life, G-Mod, Minecraft, FTL, Halo CE,  Sonic and many others. They helped me to connect with others and provided an escapism that helped me survive the years growing up in which I couldn’t safely or comfortably transition into the woman I wanted to be. I don’t have the capacity for them in my life like I once did but I try my best to honor them by incorporating them into my aesthetics.
