Flohio

British hip-hop artist

Funmi Ohiosumah, known professionally as Flohio (stylised as FLOHIO), is a Nigerian-born British rapper based in South London.[1] Her music is characterised by unusual beats, expansive themes, genre fluidity, and periodic double-time flows.[2] Though some have characterised 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]
