Zimbabwe’s Rap Queen: AWA

Today we were sent a video of a special episode media outlet Noisey was covering about a Zimbabwean women named AWA. In this special episode of Noisey celebrates International Women’s Day the powerful art form of rap. Noisey meet up with an aspiring Zimbabwean rapper named AWA, who comes from the troubled southern township of Makakoba.

Despite the many challenges she’s faced, from sexual blackmail to domestic violence, she is determined to not only forge a career as a hip hop artist but to tackle these issues in her music.

We here at Hip Hop Push Media always want to celebrate diversity in Hip Hop. Weather it’s mentioning “We’re Muslim. Don’t Panic”, who are an all female Muslim break dancing group. Or giving light to “The Top 5 African Rappers”.

We welcome everything diverse because we think it enriches all aspects of the hip hop culture. We ask that you to support not only AWA but all other talented rappers on the rise.

The support will encourage and motivate them to continue to make good music and do good deeds within underdeveloped communities.
