Ari Lennox, is a R&B singer-songwriter from Washington, D.C. She signed with J. Cole’s Dreamville Records, an imprint of Interscope Records as the former label’s first female artist in 2015. She started gaining recognition after the release of her second extended play (EP) and major label debut, Pho (2016). That same year, she made an uncredited guest appearance on Cole’s song “Change”.
Her debut studio album, Shea Butter Baby (2019), was met with critical praise and lukewarm commercial response.
Lennox also performed on the Dreamville compilation albums Revenge of the Dreamers II (2015) and Revenge of the Dreamers III (2019), the latter of which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.
Her 2021 single, “Pressure”, marked her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and preceded her second album, Age/Sex/Location (2022), while her guest appearance on Summer Walker’s song, “Unloyal”, peaked within the chart’s top 50 that same year.
