My KUTX // May 25, 2024

Austin’s promqueen only started rapping a few years ago, but you wouldn’t guess that. Her technique is flawless and inventive, often favoriting rhythmic switch-ups to give her pop-rap a catchy, edge-of-your seat flow. But what’s most impressive is promqueen’s ability to turn from English to Vietnamese, sometimes in the same bar. Her two albums, szn one and this year’s szn two, continue to explore her Vietnamese-American roots, and she’s a cheeky tour guide.

On July 13th, promqueen will celebrate her second annual prom at the Austin Cinemaker Space: yes, this is an actual prom-themed show, calling for prom outfits, a photo booth, DJs, dancing, and more. And this week on My KUTX, she’s the guest DJ, digging around her many influences for a wild set. Hear promqueen’s My KUTX on Saturday, May 25th at 6 p.m. or listen anytime right here.
