A blossoming feminine force looms over Houston’s artistic terrain. It coils an innovative path through the testosterone-flushed stream of hip-hop. And in its wake, it resurrects the flat-lining existence of the female MC. It will stand and take its place amongst Houston’s hip-hop royalty. Prepare for the emerging force of Risse Cakkes.
Brooklyn, New York welcomed the birth of Risse Cakkes (born Cherisse Rutherford) and passed down a lineage of musical greatness. As the daughter of a reggae DJ, and cousin of platinum rapper Busta Rhymes the influence of music coursed her veins at an early age. Later, her eyes would flicker with musical dreams after witnessing the electrifying aura of R&B princess, Aaliyah and the ruff styles of Tupac Shakur. The late singer’s dynamic stage presence and hip-hop tinged R&B style inspired Risse Cakkes to take to the stage in developing her own musical talent.
Having migrated to Houston as a child, Risse Cakkes began honing her chops as a rapper by participating in local talent shows. She would eventually give group performing a nod, joining a local female rap quartet named The Smileys. Upon the group’s disbandment, Risse Cakkes went on to record several songs for DJ Bigga Boss’s underground mix CD which was performed at the 2004 super Bowl Car Show in Texas. This opportunity paved the way for various performances in and around the city of Houston, Tyler Texas and Lubbock Texas.
Risse Cakkes has expanded her artistic repertoire by developing her skills as a song writer, model and actress. As a product of Talents international and Page Parks School for Modeling and Acting, she appear in an independent film entitled, Street Tales of Terror and a recent film called Elbows and Vogues.
Risse Cakkes aims to prove that she can keep pace with the current reap industry’s male elite, while maintaining her femininity. She approaches her craft and audience with rhyme delivery that is no-nonsense, yet with a persona that is sultry and intoxicating.
Look for her to leave an indelible mark on the entertainment world. Her multi-talented skill as well as her fierceness on the mic will seal Risse Cakkes’s dreams of becoming the female heir to Houston’s hip-hop throne.
