Though still reminiscent of high energy and Stella’s distinct Hip Hop flow that has for years united her fans across the globe, the worldwide release of “Ready To Pop” is not in the category of commercial pop records under the recent Stella Mwangi EP. The EP released for the Hollywood Sync market in 2016/2017 was a game changer having received critical acclaim in Europe. Its songs were synced as official trailer soundtracks for Hollywood Movies like Rough Night (SONY COLOMBIA) and A Bad Moms Christmas (STX Films), TV series like Being Mary Jane on BET, Rosewood on FOX TV and Insecure on HBO TV.

Others earned two commercial deals with world-renowned fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, and theme song for Reebok Classics “Free your style” worldwide campaign; in collaboration with American songstress and fashion icon Teyana Taylor.

Stella Mwangi’s 2017 moves elevated her to become one of the most popular African female artistes in Hollywood sync music. Now with “Ready To Pop” Stella Mwangi is onto reclaiming her title as best female rapper with a huge fan base from Africa and Scandinavia. The single is set to kick off a series of Stella’s upcoming new releases that will spill over into 2018.
