Nestelia Forest has loyal fans in her homeland, Congo Brazzaville. One even posted recently that her voice and cheap beer are the two things keeping him from leaving the country! She started singing in bands aged 16, and her first hit under her own name was Cocorico. Since then she’s had many more, including Ntimani and Minguinita.

Veezo View also started his music career at 16. His mother is from South Africa, his father from Botswana, where he grew up. The Batswana rapper has an assured, smooth sound and he’s planning to take it all the way to the top – his stated aim is to become as big as Burna Boy. He keeps it real in his lyrics, which talk about his mum, his sister, heartbreak, good times and things which really happen in his life.
