ABOUT RIC WILSON
The Chicago-born Ric Wilson has experienced remarkable success since breaking out with three consecutive EPs – Soul Bounce (2016), Negrow Disco (2017), and BANBA (2018). Before the world paused, the rapper, performer, and activist performed at various festivals in 2019, including Treefort, Rolling Loud, Governors Ball, and a hometown Pitchfork set (named the 2nd best live show of 2019 by the Chicago Tribune, second only to Lizzo) before releasing his acclaimed They Call Me Disco EP with Terrace Martin and a standout single called “Fight Like Ida B & Marsha P.” Wilson has opened for a diverse array of artists such as Cory Henry, Big Freedia, The Roots, Black Pumas, BADBADNOTGOOD, Yellow Days, DRAMA, Chromeo, and more, and was recognized as a standout at SXSW 2023 by Rolling Stone.
Wilson’s latest project, CLUSTERFUNK, produced by Chromeo & A-Trak, received praise from Billboard, Uproxx, Andscape, The FADER, MTV News, PAPER, and more. Featuring collaborations with King Louie, Felicia Douglass of Dirty Projectors, STIC.MAN of Dead Prez, Kiéla Adira, and an excerpt from Mariame Kaba, the nine tracks on CLUSTERFUNK are vibrant, dance-ready anthems. Drawing on funk and soul influences, the nostalgic undertones offer a modern update that balances timelessness with timeliness. This is the sound Wilson aims to embody: energetic, uptempo, fearlessly engaging with the audience.
