Being a female rapper is twice harder - Molt’N

Budding Nigerian female rapper, Molt’N has admitted that female artists have to work twice as hard as their male counterparts to attain desired level of success in the music industry.

Molt’N, who recently hit a cummulative 150,000 streams on all stream platforms, said she believes that women find it difficult to be successful but she is ready to overcome the formidable hurdles.

“Being a female rapper is even twice harder as you have to overcome too many hurdles to be recognized and respected in this art,” she said.

Continuing, the Abia State University graduate said, “That being said, it feels enormously satisfying to keep doing this and remain remarkable at it. The harder the task, the more commendable the victory, right?

“To be honest, “rap” itself is not an easy genre. Having to convey strong or relevant messages by putting together profound lyrical content filled with rhymes and most importantly, figures of speech which have to be memorable isn’t as easy as it may appear.”

With her top-charting EP titled, ‘The OutSet, the rapper has positioned herself as a star to watch out for in 2023. The body of work contains 6 tracks written and performed by the artist. It was produced by Donl37.

She recently had her first live studio performance at Echroom where she performed two tracks from her EP “No signal” and “Ichie”. According to Molt’N “As an artist, you can never replace the feeling you derive from a live performance with anything.”

Molt’N said she cannot be exclusively placed in a singular box as she can be genre-fluid as her “alter ego” Netlom likes to sing and experiment with other genres.

Molt’N is not like any other rapper, besides being able to rap very fast she also puts out conscious music that deals with real life and topical issues; this is evident as every song on her EP is relatable to some real experience from ‘Debit Card’ that tackles the issue of love for money to ‘Cry Like A Boss’, ‘Come In’, ‘Day’ and others
