9 New York Female Rappers You Should Know

Do you know these New York female rappers?

Hip Hop is a predominantly male-dominated industry but the story of female rap is important and illustrious.

As the genre continues to evolve it’s important to keep our leading ladies at the forefront of the most influential form of entertainment.

There has been a spotlight on New York ever since the introduction of Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel in 2014. They ushered in the current Brooklyn drill wave that the late Pop Smoke continues to dominate, but there isn’t too much talk about the girls who are putting in work too.

In honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day today, Two Bees TV wants to shine a spotlight on the femcees who are pushing the culture forward.
