Zimbabwean-Ethiopian lyricist, Hanna, is a force in South Africa’s rap revolution who has rapidly been making a name for herself in the SA music scene. This 5 track EP “Guilt Free” follows a journey of pride, affirmation, and self-love through a series of genre defying powerful records.
About the EP Hanna shares: “The Guilt Free EP began as a nod to my graduation and the freedom to wholeheartedly pursue my dreams thereafter, but later evolved into an exploration of self-love and the guilt of self-preservation. It’s a diverse collection of sounds with influences ranging from pop to R&B to trap and even gospel, maintaining strong hip hop roots with powerfully relatable lyrics. It’s a feel-good project which will leave you feeling refreshed, triumphant, validated, and rooting for yourself more than you were before.”
She adds: “The writing on this EP spans years, and came to life through one intense week of studio, in which myself, Michael Zietsman and Luc Veermeer worked around the clock to bring all the songs to their full potential. This EP is a testament to the power of community, and the beauty of allowing oneself to create music free from the pressure of genre. I couldn’t be prouder of what we created and everyone who contributed.”
