Boyfriend, Princess Nostalgia

New Orleans rapper Boyfriend’s nasty rhymes would make even the worst potty mouth blush. Stacked with wordplay and cultural references, her most-played Spotify track, “Like My Hand Did,” graphically derides a lover who couldn’t exactly, um, get her where she needed to go in the bedroom. Hot tip: You do not want to be on the receiving end of this MC’s wrath. Known for pioneering a theatrically informed performance style dubbed “rap cabaret,” she appears onstage costumed in her signature messy curlers and a silky dressing gown. Catch Boyfriend on Saturday, January 26, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington. Local R&B singer-songwriter Princess Nostalgia opens.
