Fatboi Sharif

About

Fatboi Sharif is an underground hip-hop artist from Rahway, New Jersey, who bills himself as the 'Garden State Gargoyle'. His music fuses surrealist, abstract lyricism with dark experimental production drawing on noise, jazz and horror cinema, placing him among the most distinctive voices in American underground rap. After breaking through with Gandhi Loves Children (2020, with producer Roper Williams) on the influential Backwoodz Studioz label, he has maintained a prolific run of collaborative albums. His latest record, Crayola Circles (2026, with Child Actor), has been received by critics as a new artistic high point.
