DMRITI, a 21-year-old rapper originally from Chandragadhi, Jhapa, currently based in Kathmandu, is enthralled in the Nep-hop community after winning the rap reality show Wai Wai Dynamite Break Bars Rap Battle in 2021. 

Inspired by eccentric rappers like Dong, Kavi G, and Amazumi, the emcee created waves post releasing her most cherished radical anthem, “Female Rapper” via Skathi Records her managing label. Lured into the world of Hip-hop through the late legend Yama Budhha, Dmriti claims she found her home in the genre after discovering the roots of this style of music. 

The oppression and social bias faced by the Black community in the United States led this music to become a movement that resonated with her inner core as the emcee herself has been a first-hand victim of the caste hierarchy dominant in our society to date. Thus, the struggles of countless marginalised communities spoke to the young and aspiring talent, who also got mesmerised by the literary influence of the genre.    

This bi-lingual poet isn’t a fan of the assertive Nepali music fraternity narratives that elevate her gender as the silver lining of any kind of art she produces. Thus, through "Female Rapper,'' she vents out her ideologies and taunts our social conditioning that demands continuous reference back to this prevailing stereotypical loophole that most Nepali music consumers fall into. The video with over 356,000 streams is hopefully a wake-up call to these orthodox expectations and a step further toward a rather inclusive 

art community.
