Lexa Gates - I Am 2026 Tour

Lexa Gates brings the I Am 2026 Tour to Gretchen in Berlin on June 27, 2026. The rapper and producer from New York, raised between Puerto Rico and Queens, anchors her sound in contemporary US hip‑hop: precise rap, melodic hooks, and spare, punchy beats. Shaped early at the piano and producing her own work since adolescence, she has steadily built a body of work: Order of Events (2020), Delirium and Hungry (2021), Universe Wrapped in Flesh (2022), Elite Vessel (2024), and now I Am (2026).

Lexa Gates likes to conceive her music performatively. For the release of Elite Vessel she spent ten hours in a glass box at Union Square; for I Am she installed a walk‑in set centered on a human hamster wheel at the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery. Live, she transfers this approach to the stage without embellishment: direct delivery, clear production, and lyrics front and center. In Berlin the new record will be the focus, with room for the rougher energy of her earlier releases. Voice, breath, and her sense of rhythm carry the evening’s dynamics — a concentrated set that traces her development and brings her universe close to the audience.
