Perspective
Belize Nicolau Kazi was born in 2000 and raised in Barcelona,[1] where she worked as a child model, starring in an advertisement for Nesquik and appearing on the cover of ESO books, and as a child singer in the group Oh!Cake & The Cookie.[2][3] She is Catalan;[4] her mother is Canadian and works as an acupuncturist and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and her father, who she spent less time with growing up, is a DJ and record producer who goes by An Der Beat and plays Brazilian funk music.[5] She has said that she was bullied while in school.[6]
In September 2022, Kazi decided to start rapping professionally under the name BB Trickz—derived from Beatrix, the name of the protagonist from the 2003 film Kill Bill, which Kazi's mother allowed her to watch as a child as a birthday present. A snippet of her song "Bambi" posted to TikTok in February 2024 went viral. She released "Missionsuicida", her debut single, on 15 April 2023 with an accompanying music video. The song samples the theme song of the television series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and gained popularity on TikTok, as did her follow-up single "Bambi". Soon after, it was announced that she had been signed to Virgin Music Group. Her debut extended play (EP), Trickstar, was released nine days later through Virgin, with its beats all downloaded from YouTube. Her first live performance was at Rolling Loud in Portugal in July 2023.[7][8] She appeared in Veeze's music video for his song "Overseas Baller", released in August 2023.[9] She released Sadtrickz, her second EP, on 29 November 2023 through Sony Music.[1][5][10] She was featured on the remix to "Club Classics" on Charli XCX's remix album Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat, released on October 11 2024.

Musical style
BB Trickz makes drill music that takes influence from American hip hop music, including sample drill, in songs that are usually around 90 seconds long.[10][1] According to her, she does not write her lyrics and primarily freestyles.[12] Her inspirations include rappers Cash Cobain and Shawny Binladen and singer Amy Winehouse.[1] Shaad D'Souza, for Dazed, wrote that she was an "acid-tongued lyricist" whose music was defined by its provocative and humorous nature, while Elliot Hoste, for the same magazine, wrote that both her visual and musical styles were "playful" with "a deft sense of humour".[5][13] Interview's Julian Ribeiro described her lyrics as "raunchy". Nestor Parrondo, for GQ España, described BB Trickz's rapping voice as a whisper, while ABC contrasted the "humor" and "provocation" of her music with her "small figure" and "shyness".[1][6] She has been called the Spanish version of American rapper Ice Spice due to similarities in their sound.[13][14][15] She has also been accused by critics and social media users of appropriating her urbano aesthetic.[3][4]
