“It’s been refreshing. In the past, the spirit of collaboration among female rappers wasn’t that strong, we didn’t always see eye-to-eye. But Rouge is incredibly talented; she knows how to build a song with depth and lyrical content. It was cool working with her. I went into the studio with my own flavour, and she brought her style, and together with Moozlie, we created something inspiring. That’s the beauty of collaboration, different styles coming together to make something new,” she said.
Nadia stressed the importance of women in hip-hop standing together.
“It’s important because division weakens us. We need to change the narrative because when you’re oppressed, you’re made to believe you have no resources or value.”
