MC Caro

Some say she is Liberia’s greatest female artist ever, and she’s certainly breaking down barriers for women: MC Caro, aka King Caro is a rapper who released her first song Bring Back Our Moni in 2018.

She now has four albums to her name and has received a string of awards. In 2024 she swept the boards at Liberia’s MTV music awards, winning best album, best female artist and best Hipco/Tripco artist.

Bring Back Our Moni tackles corruption, and MC Caro is not afraid to get political and talk about problems Liberians face in everyday life. She’s also not afraid to be a female rapper in a male-dominated world, or to rock an image that does not conform to female music industry stereotypes.

In her conversation with DJ Edu, MC Caro talks about how her latest EP Feed My People is inspired by her passionate belief that Liberians are facing an identity crisis, a lack of self belief and self love, which needs to be fixed before anything else can.
