BabiBoi

Dorian Delafuente, a.k.a. Babioboi, is an Austin based, San Antonio raised rapper, artist, and Ballroom commentator for ballroom collective House of Lapore. Lyricism, fashion and "sexy, raunchy girl attitude" of artists ranging from Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga to Missy Elliott and Grace Jones create Babiboi's tank of inspiration, ignited by a mission to correct and address the under and misrepresentation of gay and queer people in hip hop culture. Babiboi's music has been reviewed and revered in Austin all the way up to Billboard and Paste magazine. The coverage has also put a spotlight on the House of Lapore, an artist collective currently based in Austin, representing the resurgence of the Ballroom scene and spreading awareness and education about Ballroom's history all across central Texas.
