Tierra Whack

Tierra Helena Whack (born: ) is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter known for her music.
==Life==
Whack was born on August 11, 1995, and was raised by her mother in Philadelphia. She was introverted as a child, and wrote to help herself deal with her insecurities. As a child, Whack loved the author Dr. Seuss so much that she would rhyme together each of her sentences for her homework assignments. She pinpointed the exact moment when her love for rhyming began. She was to rhyme for a homework assignment for class, and after receiving positive feedback, she continued with it. She later asked her mother for composition books to fill with rhymes and lyrics before she eventually started recording herself.
At around 15, Whack, who went by the moniker "Dizzle Dizz", appeared in a 2011 freestyle video produced by Philadelphia's underground music collective We Run the Streets. Her mother drove past the group of men freestyling and encouraged her to join. She released several tracks as Dizzle Dizz, including "Dizzy Rascvls", but struggled with depression in the months following. Despite still being a teenager, Whack gained notability in the streets of Philadelphia as "Dizzle Dizz." Despite her growing fame, she grew bored. There was no way to make money in freestyling and no way to creatively grow. She claimed there was little experimentation and growth beyond battle rapping if she were to stay in Philadelphia.
==Career==
In March 2017, she made her debut as Tierra Whack with 3 tracks, including "Toe Jam" and "Shit Happens".
In October 2017, she released "Mumbo Jumbo", a hip-hop single and accompanying music video that featured the young rapper performing while wearing a mouth prop. Most of the lyrics to the track are purposefully unintelligible. She also toured with Flying Lotus in 2017.
Her debut album, Whack World, was released in 2018. Critics praised the unusual format of the album — each song lasting about 1 minute each. Whack released each short track on Instagram, each accompanied by a short film. The multimedia project received widespread critical acclaim.
She co-wrote and was featured in Melanie Martinez's single "Copy Cat”, which was released in February 2020. In May, Whack appeared alongside Lil Yachty on the song "T.D" which features rappers ASAP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator. The song peaked at #84 on the Billboard Hot 100, which marked Whack's first entry on the chart.
