Rachel Reloaded shakes up hip-hop music industry, bringing unique flavour

Johannesburg-based hip-hop music sensation Rachel Reloaded is amongst the latest to become one of South Africa’s female rappers to release a 11-track album titled Mercy, which then dropped a hot single popularly known “Bad Thing”, which dropped this year and currently playlisting in various radio stations across South Africa.

Rachel Reloaded brings new sound with different style into the Hip Hop music industry, most especially as a female rapper making waves in the industry.

She believes her single “Bad Thing” entices women in general to always remind themselves how beautiful and powerful they are and not be ashamed of who they are, how they look and otherwise.

Sharing her thoughts on the hit single, Rachel Reloaded says female rappers also deserve the equal amount of recognition as their male counterparts in the industry, without any form of discrimination and/or otherwise.

“Having seen that the hip-hop industry is male dominant, I would love for us female rappers to be acknowledged and respected throughout our countries and beyond and treated same as male rappers, I also wish to see a change in control, in terms of writing our own songs and choosing our own wardrobes and all.”, says Rachel Reloaded.

Born in Ga Molepo, Limpopo, the rap star says it is about time true African sounds are embraced and that has been something missing in the music scene and aims to take this to the whole of South Africa and eventually the rest of the African continent – our beautiful and talented continent.

“We’re all different and unique in our on ways as women in the hip-hop industry and we all have different stories to share with the world, we need to stop with the comparing that leads to copy and pasted artists and be embraced in our own unique ways.”, Rachel Reloaded as she concludes.
