Petra works with Somalia’s king of rap, Lil Baliil on ‘Masha Allah remix’

3 mins read

Petra is one female rapper that most people don’t give props to, she’s one if not the female rapper who hold a candle to most male rappers in the game today and commands respect globally.

For instance, she’s the first and probably the first female rapper from Africa that commands Vybz Kartel’s respect after the Jamaican musician posted her numerous times on his Instagram page.

For Somalia’s biggest rapper today, Lil Baliil to feature Petra on one of the biggest songs of his career speaks volumes.

Lil Baliil featured Petra on the ‘Masha Allah remix’ with the original record which he released last year currently has over 1.6 million streams on YouTube alone.

Honestly, I’ve never heard Somali sound this good 😁 especially on a trap beat

Petra said after listening to Lil Baliil’s ‘Masha Allah’ record and jumping on the remix of the same.

“Am so honored to feature one of the best female rappers in Africa on my project “Mashallah Remix.” Hey guys I would like to introduce Petra to you guys.” Lil Baliil wrote on his Instagram page, “My family/my fans… It wasn’t easy making the song due to the language barrier.”

Lil Baliil is so honored to have worked with Petra on the song even though he admits that it was not easy working on the project together because of the language but they both made it work and together, they released one of the hottest songs yet.

“Thank you, Petra, for holding me down and jumping onto this incredible song. My Somali fans love you already, It’s a ticking time bomb”

The way there’s perfect chemistry between these two established artistes in their own right might be an opening door for more projects together in the future from the duo.

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
