The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media
platforms spanning newspaper print
operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a
leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key influence in matters of national and
international interest.
Ria Edna Nyarangi aka Xtatic has been in the industry since 2012 when she dropped her independently produced song, “The Prep Track”, which caught the attention of major recording label Sony/RCA.
Xtatic would eventually sign a multi-album deal with Sony, making her the first artiste in Kenya to sign a recording deal of that magnitude.
Although her career has been with lots of ups and downs, Xtatic has been driven by the desire to properly combine the three elements of rap. “It’s all about content, flow and delivery for me.”
With the Hiphop world being predominantly male dominated, Xtatic is definitely a force to reckon with.
She is part of the lineup that is about to bring the hiphop scene to a standstill with the newly curated Hennessy Cypher.
Dubbed Hennessy Cypher 3.0 and following the mantra ‘Never Settle Never Stop’ typically explains Xtatics mettle. She has on numerous occasions proved a tough nut to crack and always on the grind no matter the lemons thrown towards her.
“You all should watch out for what’s coming,” she posted for her fans announcing her big win.
The third edition of the cypher dubbed Hennessy Cypher 3.0 is set to launch today, Friday 28th at the Standard Media Group. The artists participating in the Cypher 3.0, include; Wakadinali, Steph Kapela, Gold Triggah, Elisha Elai and Xtatic who, are embracing the spirit of Never Stop Never Settle (NSNS) on their journey to personal success.
