Queen of the Beat: a Felame Rap Surprise
Drumroll please.. Night of Culture’s surprise female rap performer is out! It’s the fierce Polish rapper and hip-hop dancer, Anna Wilczkowska, better known as Ryfa Ri. You might recognise her from her work with Warsaw’s Dill Gang. But Ryfa Ri doesn’t stop there – she’s also part of WCK and has been building a crew with rappers WdoWa and Rena since 2021. She often raps about values that are most important to her, such as self-awareness, distance from the world, resistance to imposed rules, or loyalty. Don’t miss her alongside other amazing artists like Łona x Konieczny x Krupa, Mandzik, Wlazix, MZM, (Mati, Zaro, Maksym), Bambus, and Tip Top on the rap stage located on Żmigród Street (field behind A. and J. Vetterów Secondary School). The concerts start at 7:00 PM and run until 11:30 PM.
