Zanah Afrikan

Bio

Zanah Afrikan is a hip-hop artist, storyteller, and creative force whose work boldly weaves together ancestral memory, rebellion, and radical self-love. She creates not just music, but movements: sounds that echo the spirit of the continent and hold space for the chaos, complexity, and beauty of Black girlhood.

Rooted in Southern Africa, her sound blends raw lyricism with soul-stirring rhythm, carrying the weight of generations while carving out space for new futures. Whether behind the mic, curating visual narratives, or hosting immersive events, Zanah’s work is deeply intentional : a blend of art and activism, softness and fire.

She doesn’t just perform; she builds portals. Through music, storytelling, and soul-led expression, Zanah creates sacred spaces for Black femmes to feel seen, to feel soft, to feel powerful. Her artistry is both a balm and a battle cry, an invitation to return to ourselves, take up space, and reclaim the narrative.

Zanah’s discography includes the bold debut WOKE SEASON (2019), the introspective METAMORPHOSIS (2022), and singles like DIFFERENCE (2023), PRESSURE FREESTYLE (2024), and KRAAZY (2025), all leading up to her most defining body of work yet, FIRST DAUGHTER (2025).

Her journey is marked by a growing list of achievements:
– Two EPs and multiple singles released
– A debut on YFM
– Participation in two international songwriting camps supported by the Riky Rick Foundation, Autor, and One Groove World
– Over 50 live performances since the start of her career

Zanah Afrikan isn’t just here to make music — she’s here to make legacy
