Hellwana

26. srpen 2018

Sadly, Czech rap scene has nearly no female rappers. However, things started to change recently. Hellwana is a newcomer of 2017.

She appeared on the music scene out of nowhere and made a great statement of confidence with her first EP called Sunbeam influenced by Grime, R’n’B, Neo-Soul and Trap. She’s a great singer, rapper and performer. She pushes body positivity and advocates for young women in her lyrics. Among others, she mentions Jorja Smith and Skepta as her favourites. Hellwana spent her childhood in England so English is her second mother tongue. She is a member of Trash Gang collective, working mainly with her partner producer and DJ Cyper Sound. She will soon release another EP with Czech lyrics. Besides her music career she also works as a model.

“Hellwana builds on the current wave of British grime and, thanks to their roots, we can of course believe it, which is a big plus for their sound.Grime is looking to infiltrate the Czech scene with the only exception being Smack's take on this genre from the London suburbs. With this in mind, Hellwana is an extremely welcome addition to the local grime scene. We are looking forward to them aiming their sound at the Czech scene with their upcoming EP with Czech lyrics!” Radio Wave’s music editors said.

The singer added: “I think there is freedom in our music – it provides space for self-expression without any borders or barriers.
