The Oromo-Canadian artist and producer from Toronto, known for his dark, melodic twist on contemporary R&B and Hip Hop, is on his way to making a name for himself both locally and internationally. A graduate of The Remix Project, iBXRHM (pronounced ī-bē-RAHeem) has performed on stages both local and international, including HISTORY, has opened for Dutch R&B star Gaidaa on her “Made It Out My Room” tour, and has collaborated with industry heavyweights like Rich Kidd, Sunny Diamonds, and Daniel Worthy.
With his newest self-produced release, “SHE LUV,” iBXRHM continues to push the boundaries of his sound, proving he’s a versatile artist ready to leave a lasting impact. The track has already been generating buzz across North America and the UK and it blends R&B-inspired melodies with drill beats—a sound inspired by New York’s Sexy Drill scene, popularized by artists like Cash Cobain and Chow Lee.
“’SHE LUV’ is about a girl who’s all about me and I’m all about her, just showing my appreciation for how special she is,” says iBXRHM. “I was listening to a lot of Cash, Chow Lee, and R2RMoe and wanted to put my own twist on that sound. I’ve been a fan of the genre for a while, so it was cool to step out of the Dark R&B matrix for a bit. Creating memorable moments and just having fun with it—that’s all I’ve been trying to do.”
The track has already racked up over 20,000 streams across various platforms and earned spots on major playlists like ‘New In Hip Hop’ and ‘Northern Bars.’ The accompanying visual, directed by nkhlsview, takes the song to new heights, leading viewers on a journey through the city life. Needless to say, the success of ‘SHE LUV’ is just a glimpse of the impact iBXRHM is set to make, with much more to come from this rising Toronto talent.
