Abstract

This study examines cultural resistance through Bri’s rap in On the Come Up by Angie Thomas. Using Stephen Duncombe’s framework, this qualitative research explores how Bri’s rap serves as a free space for self-expression, a tool for challenging oppression, and a catalyst for political awareness. The findings indicate that Bri’s rap creates free spaces where marginalized voices can reclaim agency, reject stereotypes, and resist systemic control, and a stepping stone to political action. Additionally, her lyrics highlight racial profiling, media misrepresentation, and the exploitation of Black artists, reinforcing rap’s role as a medium of activism. Ultimately, this study concludes that Bri’s rap is not just a form of entertainment but a means of identity negotiation, empowerment, and collective resistance.
