tg.blk (Nyathigi) is a Kenyan underground hip-hop artist, rapper, singer and self-taught producer born and raised in Mombasa.

Her breakout single 'Love Being Used,' made entirely in her university bedroom, has surpassed five million Spotify streams and drew praise from artists including Vince Staples. She blends raw lyricism and introspection across hip-hop, jazz rap, soul and pop, as heard on her EP 'ITS NOT THAT DEEP' and recent singles like 'SORE LOSER,' 'COMPLICATED' and 'So Bad.' In 2026 she was named to Apple Music's Africa Rising class, spotlighting artists shaping the future of African sound. She first learned production on GarageBand and Logic while studying in the US before returning to coastal Kenya.
