Synonyms have played a big part in the development of her unique style; ever since her fourth-grade teacher taught her about them, she has found the dictionary a source to expand her rapping skills. Words and their linguistics have become the root of her lyricism. It has only taken her a couple of singles to get everyone's attention: first it was Station (2015), showing a flow of astonishing naturalness, and then Skwod (2016), a hip hop hit with ultra-modern production and pure London flavour, in which she takes over the streets dancing and moving like a star, an obvious metaphor for what was going on at the time.

There is an important comic side to her work, but as there is always a grain of truth in every joke. Nadia openly and normally shares her views on UK politics with her special ability to spit out verses with her own musicality.  You'll find her playfulness in songs like Boom and D.F.W.T., and on her debut EP, Highly Flammable. She is currently working on a new project that will be released soon.

She has been praised by pop connoisseur Annie Mac, shared a bill with Section Boyz, Anderson Paak and Busta Rhymes, and collaborated with Spice Girl Melanie C on a Fearless track (no pun intended). Oh, and Rihanna is one of her biggest fans and the two are rumoured to have worked on R9, the most anticipated album in the music industry at the moment.

Nadia has also earned her place at the top of the grime universe. Not only because of her obvious talent, but because her contribution to music so far is only a small glimpse of all the intersectional joys that figures like her bring to the cultural scene. We’re in need of fresh and truthful music like hers. She found some time in her busy schedule to talk to METAL about her new single, her concerts in Spain and what's next on the horizon. We are excited.
