As an L.A. native and up-and-coming hip-hop artist, LovelyOcean sees the reality of this city every day and provides an honest look at its flaws and its beauty in her work. LovelyOcean's honest and poignant lyrics about her life as a queer, black woman are securing her place as a prominent voice of hip-hop. She is inspired by Lil' Kim, The Fugees, and the Death Row greats that put hip-hop in LA on the map.
