In the early years of South Sudanese urban music names like Queen Zee, Hallamo Depari, Mary Boyoi, Hadia Badi used to spur lots of enthusiasm to South Sudanese since these songbirds pelted hits that kept the airwaves busy.

The competition they bore was immense and fruitful in such a way that rating who was better wasn’t the question but rather who was releasing another hit soon. Thanks to that, the fans used to get the value of their money when it comes to gigs and airplays.

Years went by and with it came new entrants in the game. The likes of Rebecca Trey, Trisha C, were born and took up the mantle from the predecessors with zeal. The same can’t be said of now while we have a number of new artists in the game sieving through for secular feminine artists can be a tedious endeavor.

Below are the South Sudanese new divas taking the industry by storm.
