Angie Oeh's rap career
The Pretoria-born Afrikaans rapper started making music in 2019 using a beat-up Samsung phone in her home closet. She gained mainstream fame across South Africa in December 2021 following the release of her track, Dis Jou Wyfie (She's Your Woman).
Her song, Dis Jou Wyfie, was featured in an episode of Ludik, and she has since established herself as a rising Afrikaans mumble rapper. During her short-lived career, she collaborated with several top artists, including DJ Kay Faith, Biggy, Louifi, Van Pletzen, and Jack Parow.
During a 2022 Angie Oeh's interview with News24, the artist revealed making music helped her get through her first cancer diagnosis.
In the beginning, I think it was because I found out that I had cancer in my back. And the music in the first EP really helped me through that because I wasn't thinking about being sick. I was thinking about making music.
