Rap Queens: True Legends

M.C. Lyte, Salt ‘N’ Pepper, Queen Latifah are among those who paved the way for females in the rap game. Suddenly, new rap queens are popping up left and right, either blowing up on Tik Tok or being featured by a big-name artist. Who is truly changing the game or are the upcoming girls just following in the same footsteps left behind by the big names we know today?

Najah Black, a sophomore business management major from Houston, Texas, spoke about her favorite upcoming female rapper. After some thinking, she landed on Flo Milli. She likes Flo Milli because «I like her attitude and her persona,” she stated.

Najah also expressed that she liked Monaleo. As for her favorite song, she stated, “Not necessarily because to be honest I listen to their songs when they’re trending sounds, but I haven’t listened to a whole song from either of them.

Najah felt this way because, “They make good songs for Tik Tok, which I feel is a current trend now since a lot of artists are aiming more for catchy lyrics and hooks that’ll make their song go viral on Tik Tok.”
