Suboi - The Queen of Vietnamese rap

Suboi rose to fame when she unexpectedly rapped in front of President Barack Obama. From a young woman who learned English by listening to rap lyrics, Hàng Lâm Trang Anh has become a powerful female voice in an industry dominated by men. In this short film she explains the experiences that have shaped her uncompromising lyrics – and her dedication to Vietnam despite a rising following in the US and beyond.
