Millicent aims to write a different story through rap
Multilingual rapper Millicent Makhanani Rikhotso stunned music lovers with her sharp lyrics and active voice at the recent Limpopo Music Awards.
LIMPOPO – In the past two decades, female rappers had come and vanished without a trace. Millicent Makhanani Rikhotso aims to write a different story with her voice.
“I want to remain in the industry as an active rapper for as long as my voice still carries my verses. My mother tells me that I started to compose my own songs when I was very young – I have thus been in the industry for more than a decade.”
At the Limpopo Music Awards ceremony, which was held at Meropa Casino and Entertainment World a fortnight ago, she stunned music lovers with her sharp lyrics and active voice which is reminiscent of rappers from the ghetto.
“I won a best Xitsonga house award for TamatiSoso during the Xitsonga Music Awards 2019, and I felt happy about winning it,” she said.
Millicent is a multilingual rapper who belts out her verses in Xitsonga, Tshivenda, Khelobedu and English. She has released many songs, such as TamatiSoso (ft Dj Gami), Eka Manana (ft Loveness), Famba Pota, Ama 2000 and A hi busy hiwena (ft Boti Majuli & Chimmy), which earned her respect from many people.
“Music is a strong voice which can be used to heal and also express a wide range of views and feelings. It is good to tackle crime with a good message of hope using music as a weapon, and that is exactly what I do.”
She is currently working with the award-winning DJ and producer, DJ Gami, on her next single. Millicent resides in Zava village (Nwamarhanga), Giyani.
