I am a female rapper from South Africa, I grew up with a serious speech problem, and went to speech therapists and that too did not help. At the age of 10 my parents were called in to school to address the speech problems with my teachers so that they could find me a suitable school for me but my father asked for more time.
My dad decided to go to a music store where he looked for an Eminem's music after his friend suggested it to him, I chose the Recovery CD by Eminem. I went home and started listening to it.
I ended up getting a Walkman because my dad was shocked by the explicit lyrical content on the CD, it was then that my journey of speech healing happened, 6 months later, I started speaking more fluently as a result of the music. The issues at school started to improve then I got an acoustic guitar and began singing, this is where I also learnt how to compose and develop the rap flow I have now.
