Muthoni the drummer Queen

Muthoni the Drummer Queen entered the music industry almost at the same time as Stella Mwangi. But Stella Mwangi overshadowed her because of the slightly different types of music that they do. Muthoni incorporated a lot of drums and Africanism in her rap music while Stella Mwangi was more into Western beats. Now that Stella Mwangi is maintaining a low profile, Muthoni the Drummer Queen is the new Queen among Female rappers. She has produced a lot of singles and done several collaborations with other big names like Octopizzo. She is also the force behind the Nai Ni Ya Who? Movement. Currently, she is doing school tours to spread her music further.

Fena Gitu

There is always an unresolved argument concerning Fena Gitu, also known as the phenomenal woman and Muthoni the drummer Queen. Kenyans are divided on who is the real Queen of rap music, as far as female artists are concerned. Fena Gitu is rising very fast. Her laid back kind of rap style is moving a lot of Hip-Hop lovers. Her music videos, just like those of Muthoni the drummer Queen, are equally creative. Her track, “She doing her thing though” is one of the most liked track in the Kenyan music scene. She has also collaborated with big fishes like King Kaka.

Wangeci

Wangeci entered the Kenyan mainstream music industry when she collaborated with King Kaka, Mejja, Abass Kubaff and others in the remix of King Kaka’s hit single,”Ligi Soo.” Since then, she has kept many of her fans guessing whether she will chicken out or stay put. She has passed the test of time. She has even defied all her haters to remain steadfast in the ever dynamic music industry. She is also a road accident survivor. She also appeared in King Kaka’s “Tulia Tu” track. She is now working on her singles.
