I first heard Mapei on the remix of Ghostface’s Charlie Brown and I was like whoa!! After digging in a little bit more I came to realize for that the verdict was unanimous: everyone agrees this 20 something young gal is one of Sweden’s most promising talents!

Jacqueline Cummings, a.k.a. Mapei is part of this new generation of refreshing female MCs that raps over an ecclectic mix of hip-hop, electro, clubmusic and so much more. A feisty lyricist, she raps about “video vixens”, gun violence, date rape and having fun.

After studying in NYC for a few years, Mapei moved back to Sweden where her career really starting taking off. She recently teamed up with DJ Mehdi who produced an extensive number of tracks for her, amongst which “Leader of the Pack” is a true killah.

She’s currently on tour with Portuguese ghettotech Kuduru ambassadors Buraka Som Sistema and Bumblebeez as part of the Vice Magazine Fly53 free tour — yeah you heard, it’s FREE !!
