 Dataz first single “Kitimtim” topped the charts of several radio stations in Tanzania

Dataz blames the lack of female rappers in Tanzania for the fact that MCing and DJing are associated with hooliganism and masculinity, most popularly through the mimicking of American gangsta rap, a genre that has a large lyrical base in the subjugation of women.While American hip hop is full of references that subjugate woman, Swahili rap doesn't have the same language use towards women.Because religion plays a large role in most rappers lives, they come to a crossroads when they attempt to imitate gangsta rap with the subjugation of women.
