Electro-trap

" Fresh and uncompromising electro-rap "

A very interesting rap figure, ironic, yet humorous. NADYA first entered the rap scene of Serbia in 2016 as a guest on various projects, before focusing on her solo career. At this year’s Hali Gali, the colorful meeting of aspiring acts during MENT festival, she gave one of her biggest performances, rapping with the kind of confidence that a self-made talent is forced to cultivate. Rumbling bass and strong snares link her singles, such as more recent releases ‘Brutalism’ and ‘Guram Kolica’ (both April 2024) and her latest EP ‘Seksipil’, creating a series of beats for her to flex over, speaking about her life as a woman and mother, society and trends, or even random people she meets.

NADYA is considered something of an “underground star”. She has this weird and playful approach in many of her visuals – zooming in on eating pizza while wearing pink platform stilettos in ‘Bogata’, taking a plastic doll for a walk in ‘Guram Kolica’, or canoeing in ‘Glavna Riba’. Her lyrics are raw, her sound is solid, and it’s all wrapped up in a cartoonishly sultry and gleefully trashy style, one that feels liberating when she’s spitting bona fide rhymes. It’s obvious, she feels totally ok with herself and what she does, which shows in the way she communicates directly with her audience. It’s the perfect attitude to establish her as a refreshing and empowering new name in the rap game.
