Rapper Vv Pete, “Australia’s baddest,” today shares her latest heater, ‘BACARDI PAPI’ via independent imprint Trackwork. LISTEN + WATCH HERE.

Boasting a savage strut with every step that continues to leave audiences guessing her next move, ‘BACARDI PAPI’ sees Vv Pete pivot her sound to new edges. Produced by Trackwork label founder and longstanding collaborator Utility and the GRAMMY-Award winning “dystopic-reggaeton” pioneer Kelman Duran (Beyonce’s Renaissance), ‘BACARDI PAPI’ displays the apex of Vv’s club-influenced style. With the throbbing bass of Baile Funk, the single extends on the drill and jersey club-infused elements explored in her FBi SMAC Award-winning ‘Song Of The Year’ ‘Jordan 1s‘. Simply put ‘BACARDI PAPI’ cuts hard.

Of the single, Vv Pete shares “BACARDI PAPI is a fun track, big energy which is Varvie Energy! It’s about exploring a turned-up frequency with my friends, whilst sipping liquor and somewhat feeling high, I wanna party! Was super fun making this track with two Legends Dj Kelman and Utility and I can’t wait for y’all to tell me what your thoughts on this track is.” ‘BACARDI PAPI’ arrives complete with a music video that sees Vv traverse the variety of characters and perspectives at a warehouse party.

With a live show reputation that wreaks havoc, unites audiences, and converts each listener into loyal stans – Varvies – her steady takeover has continued to grow with every release. On her first single alone, strip club anthem ‘Bussit’, Vv found fans in Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning, placement on Heartbreak High Season 1, and praise across triple j’s Hip Hop Show, FBi Radio, Acclaim Magazine and Complex AU.

Her glime lean on diss-track ‘Frauds’ took her to hyping up crowds in support of Jay1, Denzel Curry, MC Yallah & Debmaster, the Sydney Opera House’s Street University and FBi Radio SMACs Fest with an official remix by Mallgrab featured across Spotify’s New Music Friday Dance, Local Hype, Portal and The Drip. Vv would close 2022 as a coveted one to watch, winner of FBi Radio’s SMAC Award for Next Big Thing and a shortlist in Acclaim Magazine’s All Stars.

Flash forward to ‘Jordan 1s’ and all eyes were on Vv, breaking through to playlisting on triple j, ambassador for Spotify’s EQUAL complete with Times Square billboard and cover girl across the A1 and hot girl sh*t playlists, spotlighted on Apple Music’s Up Next to performing at Listen Out nationally, SXSW Sydney, Phoenix Central Park for Vivid Sydney amongst support from RAGE, RTR FM. Vv continues to be a dominating force locally and abroad taking home two major wins at FBi Radio’s 2023 SMAC Awardsfor Song Of The Year (‘Jordan 1s’ with co-winner Utility) and Best Live Act, and the drop of her latest ‘Mamas Car’ saw Ebro invite the rapper to chat behind the mic about the release and her ongoing skyrocket.

With only four singles to her name, Vv Pete has solidified her place as a one-of-a-kind, infectious, and vital addition to so-called Australia’s hip-hop scene. The Mount Druitt based, Sudanese rapper/singer with a sharpened flow reminiscent of artists like Stefflon Don, Lizzo and Sexxy Red is forging a genre-bending flavour of Aus-based rap that is hers alone: globe-trotting, heavy club sonics, rapid-fire wit, and boss-level delivery. Varvies rise! The Vv Pete takeover is imminent.
