\n RABAT \u2013 In a rap scene dominated my men, women\u2019s voices are starting to make waves in Morocco.<\/p>\n

Houda Abouz, a 24-year-old who majors in film studies at a university in the northern city of Tetouan, has long been fascinated by hip-hop, and, encouraged by friends, she picked up a mic and began to perform.<\/p>\n

In January she appeared in \u201cHors Serie\u201d, a song in which she performed alongside three big male rap stars in Morocco, Elgrande Toto, Don Bigg and Draganov.<\/p>\n

The video has been viewed around 16 million times on YouTube<\/a> \u2013 a reflection of the popularity the genre enjoys across the north African kingdom \u2013 and its success encouraged Abouz to go it alone.<\/p>\n

She followed up in February with her debut single \u201cKickOff,\u201d in which she rails against a society she says does not offer women equal opportunities.<\/p>\n
