Last week I posted a video (Video is below) discussing how multiple female rappers are currently out, and releasing music. We haven’t had so many female rappers out at the same time since the 90s.

The performance that people seemingly are talking about the most is the Puff Daddy and the family performance! Continue reading “Hail The Queen”
