mona evie

Formed in 2019 and based primary in Hanoi by rapper and producer pilgrim raid, Mona Evie consists of members aprxel, Spencer Nguyễn (from Rắn Cạp Đuôi) and later joined members (in 2022) Lưu Thanh Duy (from Nam Thế Giới) and @pangchiucowboy. Their debut album, Chó Ngồi Đáy Giếng, was recorded throughout 2021 in their bedrooms, combines the identities of all the member’s musical interests into a twisting multi-genre spanning record. Pulling major influences from Western left-field rap and more eclectic avant-garde Eastern influences, this is the group's attempt to break through the conventions of the current mainstream Vietnamese hip-hop scene. Punching through the new wave Viet music scene with the experimentation of unorthodox musical structures, psychedelic hypnotic soundscapes, and lo-fi home-recording approaches, feeding more into the abyss of internet weirdo rap and genre fuckery.
