Arcee, aka Rona Wignall, began rapping when all good rappers do. At birth. A little later (2012) she dropped her first major track ‘Go Hard’. The song has had 10,000 hits (and counting) on youtube and has been dubbed ‘a fucking mean song’ by many a kiwi hip-hop fan.
Arcee has since Supported Ladi6, Scribe and Six60. Last year Arcee got together with Darryl Matthew Suasua and recorded Arcee’s debut album ‘The Arcee LP’ released to the world with a four star review on August 15th.
★★★★ “Providing a refreshing antidote to the insipid hip-pop at present pervading the charts. (Otago Daily Times 2015)
Although she’s not dinner table topic yet, Arcee is just beginning. Hip Hop can be simple, it can be poetic, it can be inspirational, it can be taunting, inappropriate, and make you wanna go out all night. You haven’t heard female rap until you’ve heard Arcee.
