16 Year Old "Sudanese" Hip-Hop Female Rapper
"Reema Major"

Picture
"Reema Major" is a good contender; she participated in a BET Cypher last year at the age of fifteen, released her third mixtape in May and dropped a video, "I'm The One" last month featuring a cameo appearance by "Rick Ross".

This is what I'm talking about. Not only what the rap game needs, but the female rap game needs. "Reema Major" has flows, creativity, originality and lyrics. Yea, she's cute and trendy, but "Reema Major" is not relying on her looks, she relies on her talent to get the game shook.

"Reema" was born in 1995 in Khartoum born to a Sudanese mother and a father from Dubai. When she was young her family fled the war to Kenya and later Uganda, before moving to Canada in 1998 – most of her young life was spent moving from one place to the next. At the age of five, "Reema" was first exposed to rapping by her older cousin in Canada.

Ten years down the line, she had moved to Kansas, USA by then – her talent was exposed through radio appearances and a mix tape "Youngest in charge". She moved back to Canada, started working with Canadian management and performed at the Honey Jam, then at the 2010 BET Cypher. That same year she signed a record deal with G7/Universal/Interscope, resulting in a new mixtape and the current single "I’m The One" with its video partly shot in Miami in the presence of "Rick Ross".
While "Reema" is often introduced as a Canadian artist, she’s representing her heritage to the fullest. Growing up she learned to speak Arabic and a Sudanese language, as can be heard in the intro of "These Streets".
