Bia on Being Puerto Rican & Italian from Boston, Rapping in Spanish & English



Boston up and comer Bia linked with VladTV to talk about her Boston upbringing and search for identity as Puerto Rican and Italian-American: “It’s a constant search for identity because you don’t have just one place that you identify with,” she says. Bia also talks about her unique blend of latin music and trap and the current state of the Boston music scene. Watch above.

    Us Puerto Rican's come in all colors. I'm darker than her, full blood rican. She can be black to make ya feel better I guess

    She is also Latino because of her father too, because Italians are Latinos too.

    This is some cookie cutter shit, being spewed by someone having an identity crisis. She's Puerto Rican and Italian apparently, but when she raps in Spanish she puts on a Mexican accent. She raps like every other rapper out now hence the Big Sean flow comparisons. It's always the one's who claim to be so real in their songs that end up being the fake. I mean damn she can barely pronounced "Massachusetts" lol okay now I'm just nit picking.

    Just because that natual hair you see on her head, looks exactly like those weaved up black chicks yall see everyday, doesnt mean they are the same mah niggas. I know it can be confusing, but yall knock it off. She looks the Typical south american Latina, she doesnt look black. Lupita looks black. Does this chick look like lupita to you dumb niggas?

    She looks like Obama female version

  • Juvy 8 years ago

    The human version of Cardi B

  • COSMO JOE 8 years ago

    Puerto Rican is not a race, its a nationality. So most likely she's half black (aka black)

  • Brooklynboi Productions 8 years ago

    I'm latino Italian and white mix, and I can relate to her on finding identity because usually the people of pure ethnic backgrounds won't accept you in their group

  • GloGang300 8 years ago

    I'll fuck da shit out dis bih on god

  • GunStreets 8 years ago

    I see what you niggas are doing. Yall are too bitchmade and pussy to just come out and say that you love mixed girls. So what you'll do is look for any mixed chick with a drop of black in her so that yall can use that as defense to black women by saying she's still black on some tyrese or tariq nasheed shit. Stop being a bunch of pussy ass niggas, if u like mixed looking women, just say so. You dont have to use the ''one drop rule'' to justify what you like.

  • Rad Nicolice 8 years ago

    The title basically said that she's TWO NATIONALITIES, IMPOSSIBLE. Call it what it is, she's just mixed.

    Italians = a mostly mixed race
    Puerto Ricans = a mostly mixed race

  • Ru .C 8 years ago

    Where did she say she doesnt consider herself racially black? Or that Puerto Ricans who are mixed Taino/Spanish/African (regardless of color), arent racially black? She mentioned culture alot and how she draws from her different cultural backgrounds and incorporates them into her sound.
