North Carolina emcee Cheeno Ghee is one of the best rappers in the state and puts that on display with her single entitled “Off Tha Strength.” I’m going to keep saying that 2019 is the year of women in rap because every day it seems as if we unearth a hidden gem. Cheeno isn’t gimmicky and doesn’t really use sex to push her narrative across. Although I love all sorts of varying styles that women emcees have to offer I feel as if the average listeners don’t get a chance to hear the ones showcasing bars and witty wordplay. For new listeners a comparison I can make for Cheeno and her music actually comes from her home state of North Carolina in Rapsody. There’s still so much room to grow as Ghee only has a few singles and one EP in ‘Child’ that was released on September 2018 on streaming services. As she continues to polish and grow her sound Cheeno could be on the national radar and pinned as one of the top lyricists if she continues to puts the work in.
