Nadia Rose Speaks on Her Unique Style and the Rise of Women in UK Hip-Hop

In the natural amphitheatre of Meredith Music Festival, Nadia Rose was shining the brightest

Nadia Rose is a leading force in the ever-growing global popularity of British hip-hop. The infectious, straightforward style of her breakout single “Skwod” and debut EP Highly Flammable shows her commanding an array of beats with a swagger reminiscent of rappers like Missy Elliot and Eve. But Nadia is uniquely herself, as she morphs the party-centric style of contemporary rap and the lyricism of the genre’s beginnings into her own, Croydon-created movement. 

In the latest episode of Best Of British, we profile Nadia Rose in the midst of Australian appearances at Melbourne Music Week, Meredith Music Festival and a slew of headline shows to talk the sounds and styles of U.K. street culture that have made her the blossoming superstar she is today. She speaks on empowering women in hip-hop, her unique approach to the music industry, and of course, how she kills the live show.
