Hip Hop Halisi

21st July,2012; The much anticipated Gal Power: Simangwe album by L-Ness drops today and i can't wait to get my copy of that album. I made my way to Goethe Institut,monrovia street where the hip hop concert was taking place and i must say lots of people came out to show their love & support to the kenyan hip hop queen. Most kenyan underground hip hop artistes don't get much airplay so to speak,Real Hip hop is not on radio but in the streets

L-Ness is one of the best Hip hop Femcees in the Kenyan Hip hop scene. She translates Hip hop as a main stream & supporting artiste.

The album launch was amazing. Various artistes like Evaredi Snarl, Kimya, Monaja, AP from Uganda many more curtain raised. The MCs, Judge & Pepehaze did not disappoint. They blended well & controlled activities accordingly.

The Show Stopper of the night,L-Ness stepped on stage the crowd went wild.she was 'oozing out' confidence with her stage appearance and  her lyrical flow. She proved that her 'Gal Power' was about skill,beats & fundamental content.

Her album Gal Power; Simangwe shares passion of rap music & its elements from a girl's point of view by celebrating hip hop & its elements. It also address everyday struggles that african women  go through & solutions to challenges women face.The album features various female emcees.

Congrats!! L-Ness ( Queen of Kenyan Hip Hop )  for job well done!!!
