Correct me if I am wrong.
Most of the rappers are male. Why low number of females?
Also, share your favourite singles from female rappers.
Doechii is the best female rapper releasing music right now, i won’t hear anything else
Doechii didn’t win that Grammy out of nowhere, her new album is really good. My kids love Roman Holiday by Nikki Minaj, I am less convinced but they do love it.
I’m On - Kamaiyah
Angel Haze. She hasn’t released an album in a decade but she still comes out with singles every now and then. My favourite songs are “No Limits” and “Weight”
I also love Meg the Stallion’s Tramazine album.
Notable mention: “4AM in Toronto” by Miloh Smith & Junia-T
Like a lot of male dominant professions, women often have a hard time gaining success in this industry. Whether that’s because fewer female rappers exist or labels are just less willing to sign them, I don’t know.
Lee Young-ji
Lady of Rage is one of my favorites.
Best known for “Afro Puffs”, which I believe was on Dr Dre’s debut album.
The majority of hip-hop I listen to is female. Tierra Whack (who imho is one of the world’s all time greatest rapper), Latto, Glorilla, Megan Thee Stallion, Bea (despite the beef), Audrey Nuna, Young Miko, City Girls, Cardi B, Mariah the Scientist, Omeretta the Great, Doja, Ms. Nina, Renni Rucci, Lady Lashure, THOT Squad, Londynn B, LightSkinKeisha, REI AMI, Baby Tate, Tommy, Noname, Nitty Scott … and so on
I heard about half of your list. I’ll check out the other half since I like the names I recognize.
Thanks for this list. Doja is awesome.
Little Simz, Sampa the Great, and Snow Tha Product are some of my modern favorites
Here’s a few I could suggest
Cap Chronicles - tg.blk
Love Being Used - tg.blk
Dora - Tierra Whack
Orion’s Belt - Kitty ray
One life, might live - Little SimzKeny Arkana - La Rage
YouTube recommended CupcakKe to me a while back and her style is fun. I don’t remember which song I like best, but Old Town Hoe was a good one.
I’m not as into rap lately but I used to really like Noname
Gangsta Boo Princess Loko There were always good female rappers in Memphis
I’ll echo what others have said and mention Rainforest by Noname (or any of her other music)
I really love Doechii, especially “Denial is a river”. But her whole most recent mixtape is amazing. Also do checkout her Tiny Desk performance, she is the one to watch I think.
+1 for Doechii! Her tiny desk concert is a great leaping off point for her work!
Doechii is truly talented
I was going to mention her Tiny Desk show. It’s a banger!
