MARY JANE

Uncompromising and courageous, Mary Jane stands up for the rights of women and people of colour. At the same time, she translates her protest into powerful rap songs with booty-shaking beats. Even though she is still at the very beginning of her career, the German-Nigerian artist has everything it takes to turn heads in the local hip-hop hustle right from the start. That's exactly what she's already doing, and with a bang. Tracks such as ‘Big Mouth’ and ‘Duhhh!’ (2025) have shown this year that the rapper with the bright red afro need not shy away from comparison on a national or international level. For her first visit to Hamburg, she will bring along her previously released singles and some unreleased material. If you're into deep, pulsating trap beats, confidently spit bars in the tradition of Missy Elliott, and a message that swings between empowerment and the obligatory middle finger to patriarchy, you're in for a treat. As real as it gets.
