B. Alexis makes her DJC debut count with "Black Barbie."

A soulful story written about the societal juxtaposition of Black & beauty, the desperate urgency of poverty and its effects on the self esteem of the Black girl. B. Alexis is a phenomenal poet, rapper, and all around writer. Her voice takes command with every verse. Wise beyond her years, her lyrics come from the most raw and vulnerable corners of the soul.

Hailing from Conway, South Carolina, B. Alexis has been incarcerated since age 17, serving a 30-year sentence for murder in the South Carolina Department of Corrections. Through soulful samples and live instrumentation, B. Alexis takes us on the journey of a fast, desperate, callous young Black girl trying to land firmly in the faith, principles, and morals she abandoned when her innocence was stripped away from her.
