Rising rapper BRIII (@brianacreta), hailing from San Fernando and Los Angeles, is turning heads with her latest single, “Turks & Cakes,” featuring John Mackk and produced by 808 Mafia. This track offers a glimpse into her upcoming EP La Madrina, showcasing her bold sound and unapologetic style.
“Turks & Cakes” delivers carefree, luxurious vibes, drawing inspiration from the idyllic energy of Turks and Caicos with a playful spin on the name. “It’s about capturing that spontaneous, worry-free energy you feel on vacation—living in the moment and owning it,” BRIII shares. “I replaced ‘Caicos’ with ‘cakes’ to celebrate the female body, representing confidence and empowerment.”
BRIII’s journey wasn’t always glamorous. Raised by a single mother, she moved through San Fernando, Fontana, and Corona, often facing instability, including nights sleeping on floors with her brothers. These challenges fueled her resilience and work ethic, driving her hunger as an artist. Though based in LA, BRIII’s music reflects strong Southern influences, with her deep voice, gritty beats, and commanding flows sparking curiosity about her roots.
Her sound is influenced by Southern rap legends like Future, 42 Dugg, and Moneybagg Yo, as well as female icons like Cardi B and Latto. BRIII blends these inspirations into a powerful mix of confidence and storytelling that connects with listeners. “Music is my way to reach people, especially those who think they know me but don’t understand where I’ve come from or what I’ve been through,” she explains.
Her upcoming EP La Madrina (The Godmother), set to release later this year, will feature collaborations with top LA talent and Grammy-winning producers. It promises to showcase her versatility, blending English and Spanish lyrics with rap, R&B, and dembow influences.
