Ki Storii at Speakeasy Kabaret

Mar 13, 2025

8:30pm – 8:45pm CT

Speakeasy Kabaret

Bronx rapper Ki Storii tends to create good energy wherever she goes. With a witty pen and disarming personality, Ki combines a signature New York bravado with a ladylike appeal and one-of-a-kind rap voice to grab the ears and bodies of listeners. Add her skills as a bass guitarist, and Ki can go rock star at any moment. Even with this myriad of skills, she most often functions as a dope lyricist/party starter and her songs reflect this, with her pre-game anthem “Throw It Back” earning over 100,000 views on YouTube, a premiere on BET Jams, and her song “Whole ‘Nother Level” earning over 100,000 streams on Spotify. Now, Ki looks to ramp it up even more and solidify her name as a certified NYC star and rap queen.

With “Shawty Lo” launching her onto the female hip-hop scene, Ki is ready to take her career by the reins. She is full throttle with new music that is a perfect reflection of her personality: energetic, captivating, and guaranteed to take the party up a notch. Her lyrics exude the classic New York rapper swag while still demanding the respect of a lady. As she embraces the spotlight, it’s apparent that she can be the next big fem-cee. It makes for a “Storii”-book ending.
