Quality Juli

Where i'm from, rap is like soccer, there is probably one female rapper to a hundred male rappers,this can be evidenced by the #Challenge_IGI artist listing where there are only two female rappers out of fifteen rappers intoto, due to this, even dreams of young gifted girls are killed either by parents or siblings who disregard hiphop as a culture, this however does not mean we dont have female rappers, we do, gifted female rappers to be precise. One of our bloggers had a chat with one female rapper who made it to the IGI tape, her name is Quality Juli.

I met quality Juli through her then manager and good friend of mine Drigger about a year ago, to me she's not what i think she has to be yet but she is gifted, very gifted i swear, seeing how CMR has pushed her so far i really think Drigger and who ever was involved in the making of this child did a really good Job, be sure to have yourself that IGI tape because she is on it and she is bringing "Hot flames and a bit of sexiness".
