Hip Hop with Fedzilla

Since its beginnings on the basketball courts of New York City, hip hop has become a universal platform for expression as well as an extremely powerful political tool. 

Over the last 40 years, hip hop has played a significant role in several political and social movements,  including the Los Angeles Riots in 1992 and more recently the Arab Spring of 2011. 

Astute and outspoken, Fedzilla is an MC and rapper straddling dembow-heavy beats with a Latin twist. Taking strong influences from sound system performance culture, she specialises in multilingual lyricism, weaving between ragga, cumbia, hip-hop and dancehall.

Apart from her solo work, she is also a key member of the award-winning band WARA and featured in 47SOUL’s ‘Border Ctrl’ as well as previously playing with Full Attack Band. A rare performer, her drive and motivation are not merely for the thrill and kudos of making musical waves, but to inspire and contribute to the culture of our society.
