Lausse The Cat is a London-born anonymous rapper (in the same vein as MF DOOM) as well as a producer and a visual artist. His Spotify description states that Lausse is, “Prince of cats and Lord of the bins of Motor City.”

Lausse was originally from South London until he moved to Leeds for university, where he met future collaborators like rapper and keyboardist, Nix Northwest (AKA The Young Wizard) and vocalist, B-ahwe, as well as Tricky Cheekbones (bassist), Adam Pits (cello), Poppy Daniels (trumpet) and Max Purcell Burrows (trombone) who all contributed to his debut and only EP, The Girl, the Cat and the Tree (2018). The EP acts as a short story that reflects on his life, stated in an archived Soundcloud description:

The Girl, The Cat and the Tree is a collection of beautifully constructed narratives of a semi-fictitious feline. His sorrowful arrogance leads him woven in and out “A short story about… Feeling existential[.] The cat decides to go for a walk in his local park where he meets an omnipotent tree wizard to whom he asks for guidance. The Wizard offers him a multitude of solutions to fill an empty plexus [about love, reminiscence and substance abuse] to which our feline friend pursues in hedonistic folly."

Lausse speaks fluent French and raps in French in songs such as Belle Bouteille (or ‘beautiful bottle’ in English) and Coco Channel. Lausse had also allegedly spent a period of his childhood living in France. Fans have also speculated that he now resides in France based on a few lines on his verse off ‘When It Rains’ by Nix Northwest:

N' bid it’s batty bye-bye out of England
Lausse the kitten went and skipped town to dip-dip to Spain
But took the wrong plane and ended up Parisian
My linen’s cleaner now, and my liver’s litter’s living better now I live where there’s a million baguettes

Although he has done a few features, Lausse’s whereabouts and whether or not he is still making music is relatively unknown since 2018, only being hinted at in Instagram stories of close friends and collaborators. His appearance has only been seen in the music video for Motor City and several extremely rare live performances.
