The Miami-based multidisciplinary duo B0YG1RL, comprising visual director Angela Rio and vocalist/producer June 'Tété' Vinette, has released their third album of the year, EXIT 2B. This work is characterized by an electrifying blend of Haitian kompa, underground rap, reggaeton, electro-pop, and baile funk.
The duo, who have been active since 2023, are integral to Miami's alternative music scene, particularly within the queer youth of the Haitian diaspora. Their music prioritizes kinetic energy and raw expression over strict genre adherence.
EXIT 2B, largely produced and engineered by Novagang founder prblm, a Haitian American from Miami, captures a liberated and sometimes abrasive sound. The album's title references a local highway exit, symbolizing its connection to Miami's cultural landscape.
This project is noted for its bold experimentation, drawing comparisons to a 'houseparty exorcism' due to its raw, unbridled exploration of sound and its potent, liberating impact on listeners.
