Bhutto’s daughter raps about her mother’s death
Just over a year after the assassination that made headlines worldwide, the daughter of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has released a musical tribute to her late mother.
Oh, and did I mention it’s a rap?
Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari is just 18 years old, and a student at Edinburgh University. She wrote and produced the track herself.
Billy Johnson Jr., blogger at Hip Hop Media Training, was impressed by the rookie effort.
“I wasn’t expecting much,” he writes. “But I was surprised by not only her candid lyrics, but her pitch and conversational rhyme flow.”
