One thing that has always been a black spot in hip-hop has been the lack of female emcees. Even worse the female emcees who do break into the game stick to the cliche selling sex instead of lyrics. Not since the late 80's early 90's has there been a female emcee who has been internationally relevent in the hip-hop game. Big name female rappers like lauren hill, mc lyte, lady rage, and roxanne shante have faded out and the new crop of female emcees nowadays got the world thinking can a female actually spit. If you look deep enough into the underground you will see they deffintly do, femcees like jean grea, psalmsa one, rocky riveria and k-lay have shown the hip-hop community that female rap deeper then just about whats in there jeans. The east coast is known exception. since i started running this blog i have came across some female emcees that would leave half the male emcees in the dust
here are the 5 top female emcees i have come across who will make a huge impact in east coast hip-hop
DAMA NILZ
Coney island native dama nilz is a rare type of emcee regardless of sex. Shes a battle emcee who can perfectly rip a track as well. Dama nilz flow has impressed east coast heavyweight nems and has aligned with his fuck ya lyfe crew. Besides impressing the local nyc scene she has spitting to rave reviews to hip-hop legends like talib kwli
She has won multiple end of the week crowns beating out nyc heavyweights such as final outlaw and math hoffa. At the young age of 21 dama nilz got a flow most guys wish they can have and co-signs most budding emcees can dream of. After opening up for ghost face at phaukeepisie,ny ghostface complemented her "damn this girl be breaking backs." be on the look out for a collab cd with another female heavywieght j.rose and her brother george burnez coming soon
