Born in the Philippines, Ibarra immigrated to the United States when she was 4 years old in the 1990s. Growing up, she was introduced to hip hop by listening to rappers like Tupac, Eminem, and Wu Tang Clan. Ibarra started rapping as a teenager, and is known for her sharp lyricism and rhythmic flows. In 2010, she started releasing YouTube videos, which have since been featured in XXL Magazine and Worldstar Hip Hop. Her debut mixtape, Lost in Translation, was released in December 2012. Her latest album, Circa91, came out last fall. Last Saturday, Ibarra returned to campus for the first time since 2013, performing at the Cat in the Cream as part of the 20th biannual Midwest Asian American Student Conference.
