LUCY (Cooper B. Handy) w/ WiFiGawd at The Pinhook

LUCY (Cooper B. Handy)

Cooper B. Handy has been releasing music as LUCY since 2009, building a sprawling and unpredictable body of work that moves freely between solo releases and collaborative projects like Club Casualties, The Taxidermists, and Safe Mind. A longtime DIY fixture originally from Cape Cod, Handy’s music resists easy categorization, blending sticky melodies, offbeat samples, piano-driven songwriting, humor, and flashes of hard-earned wisdom. Across nine volumes and countless side projects, LUCY remains a singular creative outlet, held together less by genre than by Handy’s unmistakable ability to make even the strangest ideas feel immediate, sincere, and memorable.

WIFIGAWD

WiFiGawd is a Washington, D.C. rapper whose prolific, genre-blurring catalog has made him one of the most distinctive voices in underground rap. Raised on reggae, classic hip-hop, and his parents’ record collection, he began making mixtapes as a kid before finding his lane through SoundCloud, where early collaborations with artists like Black Kray, Oogiemane, and Forza helped establish his reputation. Since 2016’s Fubu 05, WIFIGAWD has released dozens of projects, continually reshaping his sound through collaborations with producers including Tony Seltzer, GAWD, and Dylvinci. His music moves effortlessly between hazy plugg, Southern rap, Memphis influences, and sample-heavy underground sounds, while his understated, highly adaptable delivery remains the constant. In 2026, he has continued that prolific run with projects including Trap Or Die, SOULVINCI, TOP RANK SOULJAH, THE DYNASTY (Deluxe), and Block Music 3.
