Bae-Luxe makes up one half of Real Dimez, the hip-hop duo she's fronted since high school alongside her longtime friend Roxy.

Before music paid the bills, the two of them made money by leaning on local dealers, all while building a following through original tracks and a relentless social media push.

An early collaboration with local rapper DWNPLY put them on people's radar, and after five hard years of grinding, Real Dimez finally landed a deal with Only Raw Records.
