FOR the longest time, rap music has been a manâs world.
But the soundscape has been changing as female acts such as Cardi B and Nicki Minaj create a rhythm of their own.
Slowly, the trend is changing.
We are finding that more and more female rappers are emerging and shining like bright stars.
This trend is also emerging in the Malaysian music scene.
Singer and songwriter Preme Lathevi Sivadasan, known as AmySi, released her first single Art Thandavam four years ago.
The Tamil rap, which uses a lot of words in English and Bahasa Malaysia, connected easily with multi-lingual Malaysian music lovers.
She was also featured in the title track of the movie Venpa in 2019.
AmySi, who works in technical support for a car company, is planning to release her second rap song at the end of this year.
âI want to create quality music,â says the 30-year-old Port Dickson native, who holds a diploma in logistics management.
âYou have to take time. I do not want to rush and produce inferior songs.â
