Rose McIver Will Be A Rap Star In 'iZombie' Season Four

Most of us would take one look at Rose McIver and say that she isn’t the type of person to love rap music — but then, you’d be wrong.

In a new interview talking about her series, iZombie, the actress was talking about an upcoming episode where she has “rap brain”, and revealed that she’s always been a huge fan of rap music.

“I still do enjoy really good rap music, but I had a phase as a teenager when I got really into it and thought I could rap myself,” Rose says to Collider. “I was definitely not a good rapper.”


Her love of the music actually helped her with this particular brain too, for the show.

“I definitely had listened to a lot and have a fairly good understanding of it and reference points,” she says. “I worked a little bit with friends I knew. Again, on this show, we don’t really get a lot of time to prep, so there wasn’t a way to do a rapping boot camp or anything. Good conversations with people who knew a lot more than I did about the field.”

Rose adds. “It’s cool. We want to have a little bit of a twinkle in our eye about it the whole time. I don’t want Liv to be a bad rapper, but I also want it to be clear that it’s not something she would naturally have had a grasp of.”

iZombie returns for its’ fourth season on Monday, February 26th on The CW.
