Her song \u2018Ghetto Woman\u2019, for example, addresses the portrayal of working-class black women in American culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another boundary breaker is Belgian artist Stromae. The rapper, singer-songwriter was born in Brussels to a Rwandan Tutsi father and a Belgian Flemish mother. His philosophical songs deal with a wide range of anxieties, from his absent father (who died in the Rwandan genocide) to the stereotypes associated with gender roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An artist that burst onto the international music scene in 2019 is South African rapper, singer-songwriter, and poet Sho Madjozi.
