Excitement has been building for Kari thanks to her critically acclaimed debut album, Lost En Los Angeles (aka L.E.L.A.) released April 8, 2016 via Wolf & Rothstein. The album, which features singles “Supplier” and “This Right Here,” has had outlets like Dazed & Confused, Complex, Nylon, XXL and more praising Kari’s take-no-shit attitude coupled with her lyrical flow. It also features the single, “Fantasy.” (See the new video, which premiered last week on The Fader’s website.) The video gives viewers a look inside Kari’s darkest thoughts as the lyrics explore her struggle to be strong in the face of heartbreak.
This news is only the latest in what has been a busy year for the rising star. In addition to the release of her album and music video, Kari was featured in the new song, “Show Me,” put out earlier this month by her longtime collaborator and producer bLAck pARty. Also, Kari’s song, “Supplier,” is currently being used in the trailer for HBO’s new series High Maintenance, starring Dan Stevens, Katja Blichfeld, Hannibal Buress, Max Jenkins, Yael Stone, Heléne Yorke, and Michael Cyril Creighton.

About Kari Faux
Kari Johnson grew up in Little Rock, AR and adopted the “Faux” moniker after realizing she could turn people’s misperceptions into a positive. In a city where prominent rap figures have been scarce, Kari stood out with her ingenuity, and ability to write, rap, and produce her own material. Through various mixtapes, including her standout “Laugh Now, Die Later,” she established a following in Little Rock and Atlanta, garnering the attention of Wiz Khalifa, Janelle Monae, and Childish Gambino.
The latter worked with Faux on a remix of her bass heavy, “No Small Talk”, which he included on his Stone Mountain mixtape and eventually signed Kari to a deal with Wolf & Rothstein (a business venture with Mick Management). Faux, a Southern rapper known for her in-the-pocket flow and smooth delivery, was transplanted to Los Angeles. She spent much of 2015 finding herself (hence the irony of album title about feeling “lost”) and will release Lost En Los Angeles on April 8, 2016 Wolf & Rothstein (distributed by ADA).
