A self-described “spiritual boom bap” artist, J exposes her daily heartbreaks while simultaneously exhibiting how to seize the day with every calculated and compassionate bar. ITUNUOLUWA EBIJIMI (aka PETTY aka THE WIFE OF WRATH) is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, and shea butter entrepreneur based in Chicago. She is the current sole owner and operator of “Petty Butter,” an all natural skincare line featuring shea butter mixes, blacksoaps, and more. EBIJIMI’s art and business integrate mediums such as photography, fashion, and deejaying/performance with cultural histories of west-Africa/ the Afro-diaspora, holistic beauty practices, and decolonial theories. THE WIFE OF WRATH’s DJ sets incorporate club music spanning the entirety of the African diaspora, from Jersey Club and Footwork, to Dembow and Gqom. She delivers dynamic global sounds guaranteed to get you dancing.
