AWA

The Zimbabwean rapper AWA is considered one of the most interesting female voices in hip hop from Africa. She is heaving hip hop onto the next level with amazing speed and the typical clicks found in her mother tongue, which she implements as rhythm elements. The 24 year old raps about violence against women, teenage pregnancy and the high level of HIV in the townships. Despite – or perhaps because – of this reality, her pieces are always danceable. She is currently in the studio with the producer Ghanaian Stallion, known from Megaloh, to record her new album.
