Dg Kalivas, “Queen of Boom Bap,” Drops New EP Star Dust Appetizer and Eyes Major Brand Expansion
Dg Kalivas, a genre-defying artist and creative powerhouse known as the “Queen of Boom Bap,” has released her latest EP, Star Dust Appetizer. Featuring five original tracks produced by R1ngleader, the EP delivers a fresh, soulful blend of old-school hip-hop with a signature Dg twist—bridging eras with melody, lyricism, and raw authenticity.
Where it all started
Hailing from the heart of New York City, Dg Kalivas has lived many creative lives. Her versatile background spans classical music training, mainstream radio production in NYC’s tri-state area, independent film work, and commercials for major brands like Honda and MTV. A former modeling agency founder and published children’s book author (The Fish Boy), she brings a rare, multi-dimensional voice to today’s music and storytelling landscapes.
How Kalivas Is different in the rap game
“I don’t sound like what you expect—and I like it that way,” says Kalivas. “I’m not influenced by people, I’m influenced by eras and genres. My classical training gave me the gift of melody, and it’s why I can become one with almost any beat.”
setbacks and tribulations
Despite being offered major modeling and music deals at just 17, legal limitations and personal tragedy put her career on pause. But after an eight-year battle with writer’s block—and the heartbreaking loss of her mother—Kalivas found her voice again. By pushing herself to write every day and fearlessly share her work online, she reignited her creative fire and emerged stronger than ever.
New chapters
Star Dust Appetizer marks the beginning of a new chapter—not just musically, but entrepreneurially. Kalivas is focused on expanding her brand across media platforms, including songwriting for film, video games, and future book projects.
The impact of dg’s music
“I don’t necessarily want to be a known artist,” she explains. “I just want my writing to generate a steady income and reach people—even if someone else is the artist behind it. Although, I feel only I can do it like me.”
With undeniable talent, resilience, and a vision for long-term creative ownership, Dg Kalivas is carving out a lane that’s entirely her own.
