Today, The New York Times has published on the list of 15 European artists that perhaps the world does not recognize, but should recognize them. Among them, Melinda Ademi, a Kosovo representative and a recommendation for those who like the music of Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are ranked.

Here's what Alex Marshall describes for Melinda:

"Although there is a small population, Kosovo is playing an important role in pop today, thanks to stars like Dua Lipa and Rita Ora.

Melinda Ademi's father left Kosovo in the 1990s after Albanian rebels launched the war for independence against Serbia, which caused a massive refugee crisis. Adem was born in Germany and lived there until her family gained a residence permit in the United States. Now, in her twenties (she refused to show the exact age), she broke into Kosovo and built her career in music.

Ademi has always wanted to sing, even competed in 'American Idol.' But, finally, he discovered he could make a rap. This prompted him to prove it once. "I was trying to create songs, and I realized that more Albanian tunes and sounds attracted me," she said. 'I just decided it would be better for me and my tastes to come here.'

Women's achievements in rap are not welcomed by anyone, but. Last month, Ledri Vula, also a rap star from Kosovo, said in a TV interview, 'Even girls know how to rap, something does not go.'

'I do not know how to answer his statement or goals behind it,' said Melinda when asked for a comment. 'But I can talk about the musical climate here, and, in the girls, we are making a name.'
