Rocky Rivera

**Rocky Rivera** is a Filipina-American rapper, feminist activist, and journalist known for her sharp lyricism and unapologetic social commentary. Hailing from San Francisco’s vibrant hip-hop scene, she blends gritty beats with themes of empowerment, cultural identity, and resistance, carving her space in a male-dominated industry. Starting her career under the moniker MC Rocky Rivera, she’s become a standout voice in Pinoy hip-hop, often collaborating with artists from the Bulos Collective. Her music—like the fiery tracks *’82 Baby* and *Gangster of Love*—reflects her roots, motherhood, and critiques of systemic oppression, earning her a loyal following.

A self-proclaimed “hood feminist,” Rocky’s work extends beyond music into writing and activism, advocating for gender equality and community justice. Releases like *Rocky’s Revenge* (2019) and *Nom de Guerre* showcase her evolution as an artist unafraid to tackle personal and political battles. Whether she’s dropping bars or breaking down societal norms, Rocky Rivera remains a force of truth-telling authenticity in hip-hop.
