Published on August 16, 2019, Tanzanian rapper Rosa Ree has released a new song that's making waves in the music scene.

'Nguvu Za Kiume', which translates to 'Male Strength' in Swahili, is a bold statement of female empowerment that showcases Rosa Ree's confidence and ability to stand up to men.

The song's music video, which was shot inside a boxing ring, features Rosa Ree throwing punches and delivering sharp wordplay that leaves listeners in awe.

One of the standout lines in the song is where Rosa Ree says, 'Nawakalisha na nimevaa sidiria, sina nguvu za soda wala za bia', which roughly translates to 'I can make men sit down while I'm putting on a bra.'

The song was produced by Ibrah Jacko and directed by Traveler, and both have done an excellent job in bringing Rosa Ree's vision to life.
