Flohio

Funmi Ohiosumah, known professionally as Flohio (stylized "FLOHIO"), is a Nigerian-born hip-hop artist from South London.[1] Her music is characterized by unusual beats, expansive themes, genre fluidity, and periodic double-time flows.[2] Though some have characterized her work as "grime," Ohiosumah rejects this term as too limiting for her style and approach. As FLOHIO, she performs as a solo artist, but has also collaborated with God Colony and Modeselektor.[2]
