Born as Charlene Tatenda Kashamba Muropa ,(Y-star) is an upcoming femcee who has been dominating the male dominated hiphop genre proving that the future indeed is female.Only at 19 ,Y-Star explores hiphop mainly but she also shares sentiments in other genres such as RnB and Afro Pop.
The Femcee chose hiphop because she saw it as a jackpot to head towards unprecedented glory especially for a female personality as they are still less female artists dominating this genre .Leaning on the inspiration of Dej loaf ,Young Ma ,Remy Ma and of course the queen Nicki Minaj -gosh I'm already a fan of Y-Star -,she says it's easy for her to take up such a role with utmost humility and gratitude as she explain how she was the only femcee at a show where she performed and many were shocked and fell in love with her.
Y-Star is planning on releasing an Ep coupled with three collabos and in regards to women's month she said "I think we should do something about the male perception of women in the industry because I don't see any change as of yet.Perhaps a march will do justice ."

ON FOCUS
Terrel Lane originally born as Russel Ngoni Muchineuta is a force on the rise in the local hiphop scenes who drew his inspiration from his childhood as he grew up surrounded by the hiphop lifestyle and that drew his attention till he ventured into it.
"Music in general has a strong impact in my life because it is attached to my body ,mind and soul and some of the personal life changing decisions I made in my life were inspired by music and who I listen to .My music is unique in the sense that I create my own sound and produce it and that's how I'm able to come up with a different sound and I love putting an African feel to my music to give it an original African feel" The rapper said
As we all know it is always a race in the jungle for most of this upcoming artists as they always suffer a major blow when they try to make it in the industry especially ours which is male dominated and for a fellow male artist it is very difficult. Terrel Lane thinks that many upcoming artists face financial problems in order to make a breakthrough into the mainstream and also lack the blueprint on how to properly manage their own careers .Some artists even face family problems as families tend to shun a member who wants to venture into the entertainment industry be cause they don't consider it a career path in which one can embark on.
Inspired by Meek Mill ,Chris Brown and Chiwoniso Maraire ,Mr Lane holds aspirations of collaborating with the cream dela cream that our continent has to offer as well as internationally as well as to open his own recording label and music school.
