SHAME Fest brings Zambian-Canadian rapper Backxwash to The Rickshaw with support from Greta Boney, Prado Monroe, AKAsublime and Aster Dawn.
Backxwash
Backxwash aka Ashanti Mutinta is a Zambian-Canadian rapper & producer based in Montreal, Quebec. She is most noted for her 2020 Polaris Music Prize-winning album God Has Nothing To Do With This Leave Him Out Of It. Backxwash’s trilogy (2020—2022) reflects different points in her life and delves into themes of identity, spirituality, and personal struggle, blending haunting beats with unfiltered, introspective lyricism. Backxwash emerges from the shadows of her trilogy with Only Dust Remains March 28th, 2025. The album takes a new direction that showcases her evolution into a broader sonic landscape.
Greta Boney
Greta Boney is a multidisciplinary artist — painter, musician (Dear, Lucy & Friends), filmmaker, trans activist, and fierce advocate for unrestrained creative expression. She hails from North Carolina and Georgia.
Prado Monroe
Vancouver-born pop artist Prado Monroe transforms chaos into sonic magic. With her debut EP released via tmwrk records in 2021, Prado blurs the lines between sweet and sadistic. Born on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, Prado channels inspirations like Björk and Gucci Mane. Formerly known as “AlienKanye,” she was scouted by OWSLA in high school and has continued to challenge genre expectations with releases like “STRIP,” “STEPHEN,” and “DRIP.”
AKAsublime
AKAsublime is an artist, DJ, and producer, as well as the founder of Unity Arts Collective — a vibrant platform supporting QTBIPOC artists and art lovers across Canada.
