The Ghanaian-Canadian rapper impresses with her frank look on toxic feminine expectations.
Driven by a rare, burning passion for music that permeates all her releases, Ghanaian-Canadian rapper Wandaa X has always unapologetically moved to the beat of her drum. With her calm yet sharp and biting cadence, she’s carved out a niche for herself as one of the most intriguing hip-hop talents in the industry today. Possessing both the determination to succeed and the discipline to put the required work in, this exciting new artist continues to shoot for the stars.
Wandaa X’s artist origin story feels like a fateful awakening in many ways. At 12, two boys in school challenged her and a friend to a rap battle. Initially supposed to be a simple sixteen-bar verse, Wandaa X would snap and turn it into an entire song, causing the boys to back down and giving her an artistic awakening she wouldn’t ever forget. Years later, Wandaa X has continued to perfect her craft, releasing a series of Instagram freestyles and staying active. With new releases on the horizon, Wandaa X continues to aim for even greater heights; there’s every indication she will succeed.
“True Queen” feels in many ways like it’s been a long time coming, but we feel like it’s arrived just in time. Strong grooves, 808 snares, and bass provide a slightly introspective feel to the beat, and Wandaa X sings and raps like she’s absolutely in her element. Lines like “True Queens / Don’t need to explain what that means” and “Crowns up, we’re the most disrespected, most unprotected” detail the crushing pressure all too many women face in the industry and real life. Still, Wandaa X delivers these lines with the underlying defiance and strength that tells us she knows her worth. She’s resolute, and this unbreakable spirit underlines the “True Queen” feel, making it a highly empowering release.
Wandaa X’s new release, “True Queen,” is a powerful ode to self-respect and self-love that will inspire your inner strength. Whenever you’re ready, tap in and stream Wandaa X’s new release, “True Queen”, available now on all majour streaming platforms.
