Eric Reprid


Shi Yi Liu, known professionally as Eric Reprid, is a Canadian independent rapper, singer, and songwriter currently based in Los Angeles, California. He first rose to prominence with the release of his single "Cold World", which would later be featured on the eponymous EP. Since then, the track has accumulated over 66 million streams as of January 2026.
In recent times, Eric Reprid has become known for his often provocative and controversial lyricism. His work has drawn attention for the use of racial slurs, most notably the word "chink." In addition, he is frequently credited with popularizing the slang term "badussy", which gained traction through his music and online fan communities. Beyond slang, Reprid's catalog often includes explicit references to sex, a recurring subject matter in his lyrics that has contributed both to his appeal among fans and to criticism from listeners and commentators.

Career

Early beginnings: Release of Who Cares & Bloom

Reprid dropped out of college to become a rapper with his friend and producer, Marc Wavy, towards the end of 2016, a decision that their parents disapproved of. Then, he joined the street gang "VTS" or Vancouver Top Steppas. After joining the gang, he began releasing music with fellow gang member Marc big Steppa Wavy. The first song they released was "By My Side", featuring fellow artist Kora. From there, he continued to cement his career as an underground artist "from the V", with his first album, titled Who Cares, being released in the summer of 2018, and his second, titled Bloom, being released in early 2020. His track, "Pick a Side", off of his project was featured on Season 4, episode 9 of the popular ABC series, Grown-ish.

Breakthrough: Release of Cold World and 3ternity

Some of his first hits were "Cold World" and "Vam". Also in 2020, his single, "Cold World", has since reached over 66 million streams on Spotify and was nominated for Rap Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2021; making him the only independent musical artist to be nominated in that category. After the success of "Cold World" and his eponymous-self-titled extended play in December 2020, he came back in the summer of 2021, with a song, called "Thousand Times" and a 3-track extended play, titled "Good Riddance".
Towards the end of 2021, he released three singles from his upcoming mixtape. After being delayed several times, 3TERNITY was released in March 2022 and was the last project created in collaboration with Eric's producer and friend Marc Wavy, as Wavy chose to pursue his own musical career.

Album releases and lyric controversy (2024-present)

Following Reprid's fourth project, he released three singles between July 2022 and January 2023 leading up to his next project, titled RIDDY'S REVENGE, including the songs "Hate On Me" and "8am." as a reference to the 2017 altercation. On September 20, 2024, Reprid released his sixth album, titled FUCK YOU. He also released a single titled "25" in November for his 25th birthday.
In 2024, Reprid released six singles, "Suki", "Ginger", "On the Radar Freestyle", "Like a Chink Bitch ", "Mother", and "WTF". The clips of Reprid performing "Suki" went viral on X and TikTok that February of that same year, because of a lyric in the song's hook about "bussy". One of Reprid's most recent singles, "WTF", began to gain traction on TikTok in early 2025, by being used as a template for memes. On July 25, 2025, Reprid released his seventh album, titled ''FUCK YOU TOO.''
