The difficulty of being a female rap artist
Rap/hip-hop is one of the biggest genres of music the world has to offer, giving generations tons of sub-genres to choose from. Coke La Rock and Dj Kool Herc being the founding fathers of the category, rap didn’t come into fruition until 1973. It brought a new flow of music to the 70’s. A female rep for the genre didn’t step onto the scene until the late 80’s: MC Lyte breaking that male mold.
