[Chella Alene]

Alexis “Lex” Wilson (born January 21, 1997), better known by her stage name IssaBigBadLex, is an American rapper. In 2018, Wilson signed to Mobile-based independent record label King Entertainment, and in mid-2019, secured a record deal with the notable SS Global Entertainment which has granted her access to the largest distribution platform in North America.

IssaBigBadLex’s musical history has led her to become not only a rap artist; but she’s also a producer, sound engineer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. Lex introduces the style of alternative rap that gives a colorful hue to her audience’s listening experience. From House Music to Ambience, to Classical arrangements, Lex incorporates every sound imaginable into production. From Lex’s colorful catalog, her most popular pieces showcase the diversity of her style.

However, Lex’s latest releases incorporated more ambient sounds and classical composition with a hint of musical theater as opposed to her earlier pieces. We can hear these elements best in “Ugly” and “STFU” where Lex personified her lyrics into assertive characters and allowed for the lyrics to also tell a story. Recently, “Ugly” has received much more recognition than normal from the music community. 

The eerie ambiance in the instrumental and well-structured lyrics has listeners embracing Lex’s creative, divergent thinking.
