RAZZLEKHAN – Vacuum Cleaner (2020)

Are you a fan of Dyson vacuum cleaners or vacuums in general? Razzlekhan is obsessed with vacuum cleaners and has 4 (3 Dysons and 1 xiao mi autonomous robot vacuum cleaner), and decided to make a music video about vacuums. Just like the joy you get from weeding unwanted junk from your closet, it’s important to clean your life of crappy friends who suck your time, energy, and money! This song is about “spring cleaning” those lame people.

Heather Morgan, known by her stage name Razzlekhan, is an American rapper, writer, and tech entrepreneur. She gained notoriety not only for her unconventional music but also for her involvement in a high-profile cryptocurrency laundering case.

Released on November 13, 2020, “Vacuum Cleaner” is one of Razzlekhan’s singles that showcases her distinctive style. The track blends elements of comedy and rap, featuring lyrics that address toxic relationships and personal empowerment. The chorus includes lines like: “Bitch, you suck like a vacuum cleaner… my friends’ list about to get leaner… think I need to do a spring cleaner… ’cause you suck like a vacuum cleaner.”

Razzlekhan describes herself as the “Versace Bedouin” and “The Crocodile of Wall Street,” highlighting her eclectic fashion sense and entrepreneurial spirit. Her music often merges surrealist concepts with influences from North Africa and East Asia, regions where she has previously lived. She cites artists like Die Antwoord, Awkwafina, and Princess Nokia as inspirations.

In 2022, Razzlekhan and her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein, were arrested for laundering billions of dollars in cryptocurrency stolen during the 2016 Bitfinex hack. Morgan was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, while Lichtenstein received a five-year sentence. Their story has attracted significant media attention, leading to documentaries and discussions about their dual lives in tech and music.

Despite her legal troubles, Razzlekhan continued to produce music, releasing tracks like “Razzlekhan vs. The United States” shortly before serving her sentence. She has expressed that her music serves as an anthem for misfits and those who refuse to conform.
