LEW POPPY is an American independent nonbinary Hip Hop artist and songwriter from the South East side of Detroit, MI. Since they were a child, LEW POPPY has been involved in the creative arts, first through dance and then later through music as they became part of choirs and played several instruments. LEW POPPY was surrounded by creatives and in a time when Hip Hop was exploding, everyone around them was spitting bars and LEW POPPY's poetry soon evolved into rap lyrics out of the sheer competitiveness in them. After coming up against years of adversity in the music industry as a result of their sexuality and determination to not compromise on who they were, LEW POPPY released their debut single 'Thot Thot' in December 2020, which is now being followed by the debut album “Skirt Chaser” both under the name LPOPPY. Soon after, LPOPPY changed the name to LEW POPPY to make themselves more familiar with their peers. LEW POPPY's unique and attention grabbing style has resulted in being picked up for Spotify editorial playlists and we know this is just the beginning for this promising talent.
