Karma Rivera is a Chicago-born rap artist turning real-life love stories into melodic rap confessionals.

A proud Boricua artist raised in the Pacific Northwest, Rivera blends storytelling, melody, and sharp lyricism into songs that explore love, identity, and growth.

While Priceless is Rivera’s debut album, she is by no means a newcomer. She landed on Willamette Week’s Best New Bands list in 2019, contributed to the creative team that helped unveil Portland International Airport’s new wood roof, and was honored with the Trailblazer Award at the 2025 PDX Star Awards during Portland’s annual Hip-Hop Week. Most recently, she appeared in Downtown PDX’s bold “Portland Sucks” campaign, closing the ad with the line, “Portland… for those who get it.”
