Well, I just want you all to know that I’m still STL the queen of Hip-Hop and I’ve got some heated records lined up for you. I’m on to some other hustle real quick! Don’t worry; I’ll be back before you all know it. Nawapenda woh!”

Stella Mwangi is one of Africa’s most unique female artistes in the genres of hip hop/rap, afro pop, reggae, dance and world music. Her self- titled EP is a fusion of songs with high energy and her distinct Hip Hop flow that unites her fans across the globe. Stella’s blend of Swahili and English in her European songs, continues to create a diverse sound while remaining authentic to her African origin and style.

SET IT OFF was featured on Being Mary Jane season 4, with GET UP & GO being taken up as a soundtrack for Rosewood Season 2.
