Rap Nigerien exploded in Niger at the end of 1998.
Rap Nigerien has few interesting specifics and is a mélange of different languages spoken in Niger. The music is soft and kind, mixed with a traditional heritage of their music. It grew into an interesting sociologic phenomenon, which expands borders of entertainment. Young and dissatisfied people started to talk about objects which annoy them - forced marriages, child labor, corruption, poverty and other problems.
Rap Nigerien spontaneously ran UNICEF programs, which are working much more than others. In August 2004, UNICEF opened an action "Scene Ouverte Rap", where 45 new groups entered selections among an informal count of 300 existing groups. Selections took place in Centre Culturel Franco – Nigerien between the 5th and 14th of August.

A lot of groups are still active, for example Tchakey, Kaidan Gaskya, Was Wong and Goro G. There are also a lot of newer groups like Haskey Klan, Kamikaz, Rass Idris and Metaphor.

Nigerien women's persistence in inscribing their voices in the public space, as the analysis of the radio storytelling of this version of "The Wicked Stepmother" will show, is a significant indication of their resistance against patriarchal forces which had long controlled symbolic meaning-be it of a religious, cultural or political nature-in the nation.
Their reconfiguring of this ancient tale, with its cross-cultural thematic resonance, demonstrates their willingness to use their knowledge of religion and agency to subvert the oppressive patriarchal elements that silence them.
Furthermore, through their presence in the media and their appropriation of cultural fields of meanings such as religion and folklore, Nigerien women are creatively participating in the construction of a more gender-balanced democratic order.
