5 Female Rappers That Haven't Gotten Their Flowers

It’s a fine time to be a female rapper this Women’s History Month considering MULTIPLE women are at the top of the rap game.

Cardi B continues to own the charts with songs like “Press” as well as a coronavirus remix featuring her vocals that’s steadily climbing the charts. Nicki Minaj is also setting records now that she’s the first female rapper to amass a net worth of $100 million.

The excitement for women rappers is only growing thanks to talent like Meg Thee Stallion and Mulatto rapidly building a fan base.

However, as women continue to lead the way in hip hop, some talented rhymers naturally tend to seep through the cracks — ladies who have been on their grind for just as long as some of our favorite chart toppers.

Check out one female rapper below who’s still doing her thing despite not necessarily having the same reach as a Nicki Minaj or Cardi B.

Then hit the flip for four other spitters who deserve flowers of recognition for Women’s History Month.

1. Junglepussy

Clever, erotic, profound and a little bit of weirdness make up Junglepussy’s brand. The Brooklyn spitter is an expert at exploring relationships from the sexual, to the casual, to the outright serious with still a dash of humor. Oh, and she has bars too.

2. Sampa The Great

This Zambian rapper draws inspiration from icons like Ms. Lauryn Hill to create an eclectic sound. She first gained prominence with her celebrated release, The Great Mixtape in 2015 and she just released her debut album in September of last year. It’s full of bangers.

3. CupcakKe

If you like your rappers to be sex positive, raunchy and outright hilarious, CupcakKe is your gal. The Chicago spitter uses metaphors, similes and innuendos like a pro on verses that always entertain and excite. She’s not new to this, she’s true to this.

4. Noname

Another Chicago native, Noname always brings the introspective yet observant rhymes that cover everything from relationships to politics. Although she’s communicated that the industry has constantly left her exhausted, her talents shouldn’t be overlooked for future generations.

5. Chika

Probably the newest of the bunch, Chika’s first claim to fame involved a viral freestyle about Kanye West back in 2018. Since then, the Alabama rapper has hit the ground running by baring her stripped down rhymes that are raw, skillful and absolutely real. The future is bright, but why not give her all her flowers now?
