Following in the footsteps of modern female rappers such as Nicki Minaj, Cardi B and Lil Kim, Stefflon Don has caused massive waves throughout the music industry with her explosive verses. None other than Drake has mentored Don in the past, which will have no doubt had a massive influence on her lyrical, and performance, styles when it comes to this side of her sound. It doesn’t get much bigger than that, but she’s still managed to keep her Jamaican roots through her vocal style, setting her apart from the rest.

You might not expect it when listening to her more aggressive rap style on tracks like Real Ting, but Stefflon Don has a singing voice with the ability to match her rapping abilities. Her track, Senseless, which has over 10 million view on YouTube, shows off the two things in perfect harmony, switching between her soulful tones and harsh rhymes.
