Adopting the surrealist imagination of the avant-garde folktronic scenery, Bunny Rabbit's deadly erotic art-raps sent New York flower people and critics reeling when she debuted Lovers and Crypts in 2007. The contrast of Bunny Rabbit's innocent-sounding, light spokesperson and her actual lyrics was already a minuscule troubling, merely her producer (and lover) Black Cracker, the active drive behindhand this 2 Live Crew-meets-Goldfrapp project, provided the eerie soundscapes of cold electro-crunk and trip-hop that clenched the record album in concert. A Brooklyn native born of Samoan and Mexican ancestry, Bunny Rabbit (real nominate Melisa Rincon) never considered herself a melodic artist of whatever type until she became romantically involved with Celena Glenn, an award-winning poetess and pedagogue world Health Organization doubles as Black Cracker. A producer and live beatboxer for CocoRosie, Cracker bucked up Rincon to record her odd ruminations of a bemused bunny rabbit wandering aimlessly through and through New York. Using Cracker's connections, Bunny Rabbit affiliated with the Voodoo-EROS imprint, which is co-owned by CocoRosie baby Bianca Casady. Lovers and Crypts arrived in February 2007.
