F.U.R.Y. is a Chicago based rapper who has performed in the Midwest since 2015. The name F.U.R.Y. stands for Finally Understanding the Real You. Throughout the years F.U.R.Y. has hosted events that celebrate the diverse music scene in Chicago. She currently co-hosts a weekly open mic with Boly Blaise at Hairpin Arts Center (2810 N Milwaukee) Wednesday nights at 8pm.
In 2018 she released her 4th EP Black Magic which featured live musicians and a new sound that bordered on alt/rock and rap. Since then she has added live music to her performances and has gained versatility and a broader reach.
In 2020 F.U.R.Y.’s single “I Won't” was featured in two episodes of the Netflix Original Series GENTEFIED. She has played in classic venues such as The House of Blues, The Green Mill, Lincoln Hall, The Empty Bottle, and Subterranean. F.U.R.Y. has opened for artists such as Rah Digga. She was mentored by Chicago legends Twista and producer Toxic in their M.A.P.S. Music program.
She has taken her ability to mix lyricism, power, and passion with socially conscious themes to become a force in her community. Her recent work has been focusing on the revitalization of Chicago’s West Side. She is an Austin resident that sees the power music and art have to not only lead a revolution, but provide representation for those that mainstream media has left out.
This year F.U.R.Y was awarded the 1.5 million dollar Chicago Community Works Grant which will go towards beautifying Austin’s historic Columbus Park. This will help activate one of the largest green spaces on Chicago's West Side.
Her latest project FURY REVOLUTION will document her journey through community work and music. How both are coming together to make an inviting creative scene for Black and Brown people in undeserved communities.
