Being compared to Nicki Minaj is a privelege, but it also comes with a whole lot of pressure. Nadia sent me some tracks and I'm impressed, wouldn't say she's Nicki though. She's got the talent but what makes Nicki is more her personality and in your face attitude. Nadia's got the swagg, cockiness and is witty which makes her fun to listen to. She's definitely the future of S.A hip-hop, I just hope the right people are listening out for her.
I’m sure by now you’ve noticed my dislike of female emcees. Until I met Nicki ofcourse, whose combination of beauty, talent and personality allowed me to give other female rappers a 2nd opinion. Well the female emcees I thought were wack I still haven’t changed my mind on but someone else has caught my eyes and ears and redeemed South African hip hop regarding the opposite sex. Nadia Nakai, get familiar!!!
Nadia raps about money, Louis bags, b*tches, haters, other girls’ men texting her and the same witty, slick rhymes you would expect from a commercial artist. What I like about her raps is that they got swagg and attitude, and even though she’s being compared to Nicki Minaj she doesn’t try to be her. Call me a chauvinist but what I like most about her is that she’s pretty and has sex appeal. Nothing pleases me more than WANTING to see who I’m listening to, which is not the case with other local female artists.
