Here is your reminder to support women in music. The girls have been dominating music in recent years, specifically rap music. This era of women in rap brings gifted artists like Latto, Sexyy Red, Flo Milli, and Ice Spice into the spotlight. In honor of Womenās History Month, check out a gallery of the women dominating rap music inside.
Massive top-charting hits, unforgettable performances, iconic features and legendary partnerships are the way many of these stars are quickly rising to the top of the rap game. We saw a young Latto go from Jermaine Dupriās āThe Rap Gameā to hitting the ultimate hip hop jackpot. Now, sheās the first female artist to headline Atlantaās beloved Birthday Bash music festival.
Other artists mentioned on our list found viral fame and rapidly dispelled the criticisms and rumors of being one hit wonders. GloRilla had one of the best yearās with her hit āF.N.F. (Letās Go)ā that governed our 2022 summer and beyond. The Memphis rapper was nominated for her first Grammy under the Best New Artist category, and she has been welcomed into the rap community with open arms. Cardi B embraced GloRilla on her follow up hit āTomorrow 2,ā and the young rapper collaborated with Latto and the late Gangsta Boo on āFTCU.ā
Many fans thought Ice Spice would be a one hit wonder after the success of her viral hit āMuch (Feelinā U).ā She proved the naysayers wrong by dropping her recent EP Like..?, which features notable fan favorites like āPrincess Dianaā and āIn Ha Mood.ā
New women in rap are making waves like Sexyy Red, whose viral hits like āPound Townā has sent her into super stardom. The St. Louis rapper has since collaborated with some musicās biggest acts like Drake, SZA and more. Another hot new artist on the scene is Atlanta rapper, Anycia, whose song āBack Outsideā featuring Latto has captivated the ears of countless. The songās become a trending sound, making a huge impression across social media. Anycia, like many other artists on this list, has created a voice of her own. Now, sheās carving a lane of her own.
These rap stars really have nothing to prove, because the proof is in the product. Cardi B has had multiple endorsement deals including her collaboration with husband Offset and McDonaldās debuting āThe Cardi and Offsetā meal. Megan Thee Stallion follows suit with her many partnerships including Nike, CashApp, Netflix and so on.
The girls that get it, get it.
