A standout verse on the remix of King Kaka's hit "Ligi Soo" launched her into the spotlight and set the stage for a career that would redefine female rap in Kenya.
Wanjiku Kimani, Femi One, quickly established herself as one of the continent’s most formidable female rappers. Her commercial breakthrough came with the viral club hit "Utawezana," featuring Mejja, and she has consistently released chart-topping tracks in Swahili and Sheng, including "Pilau Njeri" and "Brikicho." Known for her sharp lyricism and commanding presence, she has become a dominant voice in East African hip-hop.
In May 2021, she broadened her reach across East and Central Africa with her debut album "Greatness," featuring collaborations from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia. Her status was cemented internationally at the 2022 AFRIMMA Awards, where she was named Best Female Rapper in Africa. Recent singles like "Hydrate" and "Valentina" continue to showcase her evolving sound and global influence.
