importance of he, pope, and politics and how it empowers the youth and guardians, in general, please, hello everybody. my name is kelly, a. rappel and human rights activist for the gambia with africa as gambia from a context has been given into the 2 years under the eye of damaging. yeah. demos with restrictive artist media. and people from speaking up in general, office for, for major of be brought to the office in excel such as i did. and today we're going to go around and see what the bottom part is off when it comes to hip hop rap music. and it's affiliation. with politics, if you are ready, let's go thank you for inviting us. what's your take on hip hop and politics being in

politics. if the bar backbone have always said, wow, i always say less than very interesting. because in gambia you see that a lot of artists feel like they shouldn't be associated because one is probably bad for the image or it's not perceived well by the people. what kind of politics, politics avoiding yourself when you're writing, when you have to say something that goes, how can people, you don't look into the eyes. he just hit the nail and hit the proof. you're going to say. so when they like it on, that's the truth. when somebody like me speaks it out. the whole country will head fax, so i'm not a type of person that would joke with that kind of get a minute. thanks my brother. tally, be easy as somebody who has been there for the people and what's your thought on

the topic of hip hop be in affiliated with politics? yeah, music i've always been used to juan expression decent and a great political activism. we've seen the legs on what molly, on john lennon and all that. and when it comes to god via the light on kill ace with thought about on the song pole. walk to get it. just don't buy you respect with we coming up. we have to do the same thing or even try to look more gay and we cannot. but then i think guardians don't really understand the concept of an artist speaking out for them. i think most guardians know people that walk

under government and all that. so when you speak out against them, they took it personally, i feel like i've never done that. i've never, there's not a problem. they take it personally, they're going to think like you're speaking to them. when that is not that you're speaking for them, think it is our responsibility to always speak out for the people even if they don't wanna do, even if they don't want you to do that for them yet. and i think it's our responsibilities to do so. yeah, who's we're here in the beautiful street, the calling around to send the gambia for this area. and thank you so much for inviting us, lena. what's your thoughts on this particular topic? i don't see like a bad thing being a musician at the same time doing the politic music. because for me, i'm like and music goes to get me as we mission. we have a voice, give us a voice to just get out. and once you know that the population can then yeah, so for us, we are here for the population to be here for the voiceless. and we are here for

you and to empower people, specially as an artist that does a lot of social songs. me in the advocacy for the empowerment of women in the gambia, like what have been the challenges politically that you see has been hindering what to do. it's another channel fight and another journey because you've been a woman in the mission people i've been like. okay. so kind of the initial, a woman place is in the kitchen and the house, having the kid and taken care of your husband like that. being the mission and being a woman, i think it's more powerful than anything since that we are in a new so called democracy. do you really believe that that can change where women like you could have the confidence to speak out? no fear. of course, of course it can change a lot because we, we can't yeah, to speed out some people ways to say what is in their hearts. let's just do everything and try just come together. thank you so so much. thanks so much.

thank you for happy, really, really appreciate it. thank you. kayla is now some people may be afraid to speak out, but this show is where we young people speak out without fear or favor. and we are about to meet another young person doing exactly that through her music. senegal drops in has a new kid on the block. evie crazy has broken through and is leading the charge of women. drop us in west africa. take a look. it's a hot night in sali, a coastal town near synagogue capital dak hall, and rappa evie crazy is burning up the stage. it's been a long road to this breakthrough for one of synagogues, few female rappers with somebody never had the courage to become a rep as a woman. the stereotype was that female rappers were women who dressed like men were genes that smoked blah blah blah. we were marginalized machine,

allie's. evie gracie has been on synagogues rap scene for 10 years, and rap is her passion to work and life in music once everything to me, i gave up everything for magic, paul, i music me easy. crazy 1st album explore self confidence and equality incentive goals. male dominated wraps seen my 1st lyric is a smoke you and all your m. c. basically, when i arrive, i take no prisoners, a playful keeps, and my own destiny. i'll be thrown everyone. so you see me press to music, runs deep, and her family even crazy, remembers how she started writing lyrics and wrapping with her brother warner, we use boxes and bottles to lay down beats. after that, i wanted to wrap my brother to see the id,

but my dad could not accept it. he let my brother app because he was a boy in jefferson. despite the misgivings even kept acid, and after school wrapping became her korea. but the move took its toll, her marriage fell apart when her in laws couldn't accept her profession. and the trappings that came with it, the family was very religious and it just wasn't a great fit with my music, korea. it wasn't just my in laws. she, members of my own family, objected to the music like this every way i don't even crazies bars and rhymes. also tackle environmental pollution and politics. partly because senegalese rapids see themselves as the voice of the masses. this includes singing in local languages like wall of jolla, or mundane get whenever there's a problem,

people ask where the author, the supposed to sing about big issues so that everyone knows about them. not every senegalese went to school, and so don't necessarily speak french. oh, news and world events are covered in french, and many are left uninformed, more powerful. best of all though easy, crazy has found her place in synagogues, music scene earned the respect of appears, and she's here to stay. mila whole or not to day. we female rappers are not treated as an auditor. this is because they are more of us. i think the next generation will be even more at home and the wraps. so i live on a game bang lobby may been de la la, la mobilly a fight. they walked for that the young generation can run, i'm talking about peace square. the heat may come from nigeria that and for the

young people, all of africa with heats, like shopped, my money. the pope does whose fault made many young people move onto the dance floor. this cause brought together many couples. i mean, these men made young men less shy because they learn the lines by huts. re. p square is on the 77 percent. we met them a jury and a heap of duel on their to are in germany. they tell us how important it is to be vocal when it comes to politics in the country. the to also speak about how music plays a role in empowering the youth. leatherman to the stage. ah they've been back together for a while now and but day we have them here on the w,
