Rap prowess
Unknown to many, Amina Abdi started her career in music parallel to her kick off on radio over a decade ago, but had to give it up because the corruption was just too much to bear.
Despite it all, Amina has proven she was crafted for the rap industry after her recent fine-tuned rap demo that left mouths agape.
The setting was ordinary, having her hair done and her looks sharpened before daring:
