Natasja Saad (professionally known as Natasja or Little T) was a Sudanese-Danish dancehall, ConsciousHipHop and {{Reggae}} artist. A practising Muslim, she not only faced racism and islamophobia from white Danes, but was also bashed by radical Muslims for refusing to be TheFundamentalist, instead being an outspoken leftist and feminist. She also refused to write the homophobic lyrics common in the dancehall scene.

While she was alive, she was very underground in Denmark, although [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Jamaicans loved her]]. After her death by car crash, though, she [[DeadArtistsAreBetter got extremely popular]].

!!Natasja and her music provides examples of:
* ConsciousHipHop
* DeadArtistsAreBetter
* EthicalSlut: "Gør Det". ("Do It" in English)
* HiddenDepths: Her lyrics are reminiscent of RageAgainstTheMachine, but she was actually a religious Muslim, as well.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: "Gi' Mig Danmark Tilbage" ("Give Me Denmark Back") is a rapid-fire rant against the Danish People's Party.
