bbno$
Terminal 5 — New York, NY

bbno$ is a Vancouver-based rapper who made his name with infectious, high-energy trap tracks that lean into absurdist humor and surprisingly catchy hooks. He broke through with 'edamame' featuring Rich Brian, a track that became inescapable on streaming platforms and TikTok despite its deliberately goofy vibe. The song's success proved there was real appetite for his brand of rap that doesn't take itself seriously but still goes hard. His catalog includes 'lalala,' a track that demonstrates his ability to craft memorable pop-adjacent rap, and a handful of collaborations that show his versatility working with different producers and artists. bbno$ has built a reputation as someone who understands that rap doesn't have to be grimdark or overly conscious to be genuinely entertaining. His production choices tend toward the melodic side of trap, and his flows are playful without sacrificing clarity. He's part of a wave of younger rappers comfortable being explicitly fun in a genre that can take itself too seriously.

Shows are chaotic in the good way. Crowds are there to jump around and lose it to every hook, especially 'edamame.' He keeps energy deliberately high and doesn't slow down for introspection. Sets move fast, people leave sweaty.

bbno$ has been a fixture in New York's electronic and hip-hop scene, building a solid following through the city's clubs and mid-size venues. His most recent stop was Irving Plaza on March 5, 2025, where he connected with the crowd through his blend of hyperpop influences and trap-adjacent production. The artist's New York appearances have consistently drawn fans eager to hear his catalog.

New York's rap landscape is fractured into a hundred legitimate camps right now, which is kind of the point. bbno$'s whole thing—the post-SoundCloud melodicism, the producer-as-artist ethos, the refusal to take himself too seriously—slots into a lineage that includes artists who've quietly shaped how rap sounds in 2024. The city's always been where style calcifies into canon, and bbno$ exists in that weird space where he might already be more influential than his profile suggests.

Stay in the Upper West Side near Central Park—quieter than Midtown, better restaurants, and close enough to everywhere that matters. Dinner at Balthazar in SoHo if you want classic New York energy, or Gramercy Tavern if you prefer something less scene-y. Spend your afternoon at the Met or catching live music at Blue Note or The Basement—both venues where you'll see the players who influenced Mars's sound. Walk through Washington Square Park, grab a coffee, remember why New York mattered to music in the first place.
