About Dai Burger

Dainene Alexia Baldwin, best known by her stage name Dai Burger, is an American rapper from Queens, New York. Baldwin's performing career began while working as a backup dancer on tour with Lil Mama. Since that time she has appeared in several music videos, including Beyoncé's Party, and has worked as a stylist for designer Patricia Field's clothing boutique. Baldwin launched her music career with her 2010 project MyMixxxytape, hosted by rapper Junglepussy. In 2011 she released her second compilation Raw Burger featuring Junglepussy on the track Titty Attack. In Ya' Mouf was released via Complex Magazine in January 2014. Featuring production by Shane Augustus and Mighty Mark the mixtape was well received because of Baldwin's clever lyricism and confident representation of girl power. The video for the single Soufflé premiered on Interview Magazine and was picked as one of the best feminist music videos of 2013. The release was featured on Solange Knowles' Saint-Heron and contributed to Burger being named "Artist To Watch" by Rolling Stone Magazine in April 2014. Gearing up for her next project, Baldwin collaborated with London-based producer Darq E Freaker on the track Choppin Necks. It was hailed by critics as a futuristic dark song, in all the right ways. On December 4, 2015, Dai Burger premiered her 5-track self-titled project Dai Burger exclusively with Dazed Magazine. Her debut studio album, titled Soft Serve, was released on August 24, 2017 Beyond her musical releases, Baldwin performed at the first ever Sound & Style event in New York, hosted by Boss Lady and Reebok and was as an opening act for Lil Wayne and 2 chainz in Long Beach, NY in the summer of 2014. To date she has collaborated with artists including Kool Keith, Cakes da Killa, Cazwell and Jonte' Moaning. She embarked on a North American co-headlining tour in 2018 and an Australian solo tour in 2017. That same year, she also founded an organization to mentor young women interested in pursuing careers in music, called Where My Girls after her feminist dance hit. The same song landed prominent placements in 2019’s Hollywood blockbuster Little starring Issa Rae and syncs on HBO’s Animals and Netflix’s Dear White People.
