Top female rappers in Africa

Top female rappers in Africa 

Bombshell

Bombshell is Zambia's leading lady in rap. The volatile rapper came up in the scene in an aggressive way with "Bad Mothafucker" featuring Bulo Man, TR and 5ive 4our and hasn't looked back ever since. She describes her sound as "Unique, diverse, authentic and explosive." Bombshell doesn't hold back lyrically and like her name suggests, she packs a punch. She's a problem!!

Rouge

Rouge is still pretty much new to me so the jury is still out on this one. But if you've ever heard her rap I'm sure you won't deny her talents. With the ability to both sing and rap in English as well as French , Rouge is one of Africa's brightest sparks in female rap right now. Over are still relatively new career she has worked with the likes of AKA, Reason, Moozlie and has even opened for Cassper Nyovest. Her bars are feisty and filled with the cockiness you'd expect from a young emcee. The spotlight is on Rouge right now, how she uses it all depends on her.

Nadia Nakai

Nadia Nakai is Family Tree's first lady and at this stage no longer new to us. She had already created a buzz for herself before Cassper swopped in but the platform Family Tree provides her is much bigger than anything she had when she was independent. She started to generate attention for herself when she won the mixtape 101 competition on the ETV show, Shiz Niz. But her big break finally came in 2014 when she dropped a feisty verse on Riky Rick's "Amantombazane." Nadia is not all beauty the "bad bitch" can actually rap. Her Family Tree debut Bragga is out now. Listen to it and judge for yourself.

Phlow

Phlow is fucking nice fam!! She's so nice that she may body some of your favorite male rappers. Signed with Str8Buttah productions, Phlow has been low key killing it with consistent material and high volume wordplay. Over the years she has taken time to build her talents - holding her own in male dominated rap competitions. The Lagos based rapper has been featured on top websites across the world including creative-hiphop.com, HipHopDX, The Source and 2DBZ. Phlow is not afraid of a challenge and it's about time people start to take her seriously. Sleep on her at your own peril

Keko

Keko's mission for supremacy began back in 2010 when she appeared on "Fallen Heroes" alongside Don Mc, SP, Davis and the Mwanba Children Choir. The song was dedicated to the lost soldiers of the world not just Uganda. Her verse was arguably the best spat on the track -- The love and feedback she got from the record gave her the motivation she needed to kick on. Her big break finally came after she recorded "How We Do." The smash hit went on to propel her as one of UG's leading women in rap. She's been consistent for the last five years and has succeeded where most men have failed. She released her debut album "Strides" back in September of last year -- Her mind is in a much better place now, her drug problems are in the past and she just wants to focus on her music and help young Ugandan's live the best life they can.

Eno

This lady from Ghana is a beast on the mic, in her own words she got "balls" (She said it not me). Tough wordplay, ability to switch flows, aggression and drive, Eno got it all. Hip hop in Ghana is too male dominated but Eno has survived and lasted longer than some of her male counterparts. Eno doesn't care about the barbie syndrome with her freakish tomboy looks -- when she's in the booth she's a man. Eno is currently Ghana's female rap queen and nobody's touching her. You can even argue she's top 5 GH rappers all round. Quote me on that.
