RiUvEn... exploded out of Toxteth Liverpool, in a blaze of goth battering and ganja smoke in early 2006. For Liverpool, a city not known for producing exciting rap acts, Riuven’s Unrelentingly harsh and unmistakably scouse approach was a revelation. Discovering his flair for rapping after grabbing the mic at a special brew and skunk party, Riuven has gone on to be a cult figure in his home city despite just a handful of live performances and even less sightings of him on the mean streets of Liverpool. Always elusive, RiUvEn's popularity came through his Myspace page where songs such as ‘What lad’ and ‘The LIV’ had tens of thousands of plays and were soon being Bluetoothed around the city. Producing tunes at a rate of knots, disses such as Lily Rich kid Allen were immediately pinging around mobile phones. That tongue-in-cheek attack on the London singer even caught the attention of the national press. Undoubtedly funny, the ‘your ma’ jokes, weed references and casual misogyny hide a social commentary of a city where many teenagers pass the time by joyriding, taking drugs and generally misbehaving. In Nike Air, a baseball cap and never more than a burglary away from an , Riuven is every bit a kidder with the ability to spit fire. Concerning himself with pastimes such as scoring skunk and screwing the dole,Riuven is a mysterious figure not often seen in public. A string of upcoming court appearances might also be helping him to stay indoors. RiUvEn @ Echo Arena - Liverpool The Musical
