Lady Steezy is making her mark in the music industry as a female hip hop artist

SECUNDA – Naledi Dibodu (21) was nominated to perform at the Johannesburg Back to the City Concert and all she needs now is votes.

She is a female hip hop artist, songwriter and singer.

Naledi is better known by her stage name, Lady Steezy, and her musical style is a mix of new hip hop that is also known as trap, and old school hip hop focusing on bars and punchlines.

Her musical inspiration comes from local female hip hop artist Gigi Lamayne, Rouge Rapper and the international artists Ab Soul and Kendrick Lamar.

Naledi hopes to gain knowledge of the hip hop culture and not just the music itself.

She believes there are many youths with major talents who are waiting to be discovered.
