Armani Caesar is an American rapper and singer-songwriter hailing from Buffalo, New York.

Caesar has been rapping since she was 12, coming up alongside MCs from the Griselda clan on Buff City Records, a label and recording studio founded by DJ Shay. Shay also gave Caesar her stage name. These early relationships would lead to her eventual signing to the Griselda label in 2020. From Caesar’s 2020 HipHopDX interview:

When I first started rapping as a teenager, I met Benny and Conway at a studio and we ended up in a booth together, all rapping together […] So, a lot of people don’t know that we’ve known each other for 10+ years, and it’s kinda like working with family now.

It’s not coincidence that Caesar ended up joining Griselda’s ranks. Outside of his music, Westside Gunn himself is a fashion mogul and art enthusiast—something he saw in Caesar with her own fashion brand.
