Female Rappers I Love
Female Rappers That I Am Currently Obsessed With
As you may know I love rap music and it’s probably one of my favourite genres of music. I have had a couple of requests to write a post about female rappers/rappers in general/music that I like and so I finally decided to get to it and write about that. I know it took me forever but better late than never right? I have been listening to hip hop for years now- probably more than a decade- and I am so happy to see so many amazing female rappers coming up. I know that there have always been amazing female rappers but I still feel like it’s always been more male dominated. However, I love seeing how that changing and how all these amazing, talented and beautiful women are doing so well. Anyway, here are the female rappers I am listening to at the moment:
Disclaimer: The videos linked below may contain explicit language.
Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion obviously had to be on this list considering she is one of the best female artists out there right now. I absolutely lover her energy and there is no denying that she is extremely talented at what she does. Recently she released the Savage Remix featuring Beyoncè which reached the Billboard No.1 and was her highest charting song so far. That song is easily one of my favourite songs.
Princess Nokia
Princess Nokia may not be as well known as some of the other rappers on this list but she is definitely a fantastic rapper and she is getting a lot more recognition recently. What I love about her music is that every song hits different and ever album she makes sounds so different and unique. I also love that she’s such an inspiring person online because these days so many people are just so toxic and problematic. It’s nice to see someone who isn’t obsessed with Photoshop and is ready to put her flaws out there. And she is so active when it comes to activism and stuff like that so I just find it really inspiring to see someone use their platform for good.
Saweetie
She is honestly so amazing and you’ve probably heard some of her music even if you haven’t heard all her stuff. I don’t even know what to say except if you don’t listen to her like you need to start. Like immediately. And it’s not just the famous songs that are good but her lesser known music is so incredible too.
Kash Doll
Admittedly, I’ve only started listening to Kash Doll recently but I am loving her music so far. The song that’s linked above is my favourite so far. I know she’s only featured on it but she definitely killed it and I am just seriously obsessed with that song. I look forward to listening to more of her music and perhaps updating this in a few weeks.
City Girls
I was like really obsessed with City Girls a while ago and of course I had to mention them on this list. I used to listen to them like everyday, all the time- it drove my sister crazy lol! I listen to them less often now but they are still definitely in my top 5!

I love rap 🙂 I think my favorite female rappers are Yolandi Visser and Gigi Lamayne. Also really love Salt and Pepper.
PoojaG
I love Salt n Pepa too!
John
Do you like 70s or 80s rock?
PoojaG
Yes I love it!
naaiba
Awesome article and thank you for the new music inspiration! All the best
PoojaG
Thank you so much!
Belladonna
Queen Latifah all time fav
PoojaG
She is amazing I love her as well!
Elle
Didn’t know you were a fan of rap too! <3 I only know a few female rappers during these new times (and honestly know more male rappers than female) like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, but I grew up dancing to Missy Elliot music, Queen Latifah, Remy Ma, Eve– the OG ones. haha! And yes I admire rappers who get political too considering that the birth of hip hop culture is political itself. Sometimes the topic gets very sensitive for me because a lot of people nowadays forget what this culture is all about. This is why I get picky when it comes to idolizing new rappers today. Thank you for sharing this, Pooja! 😀
PoojaG
Yup I love rap! I love the OG’s for sure but I love how much new talent is coming up too. Yes Hip Hop started out as a way to speak out against the system and for rappers to express themselves. It was definitely very political but unfortunately over the last two decades or so it has become less so. Glad you enjoyed the post!
florawora
Never thought I’d say this after hearing her “I’m a cow” song but Doja cat 😂
She grew on me
PoojaG
Lol she’s actually a pretty good rapper!
Yinda
Girl, I see you’ve got tasteee😍 I love me some Megan and Saweetie too. Icy grl is one of my fav songs from her for sure. Act Up was anthem for me for the longest. It was alwayssss on repeat. I’m not really familiar with Princess Nokia but I like this song and I’ll definitely been listening to more from her.
Looking forward to seeing more of these.❤️
PoojaG
Thank you! Yes Megan is so amazing and Saweetie always kills it for sure. Princess Nokia is a lot lesser known but she is such a brilliant rapper and just such an awesome person that I knew I needed to add her to this list.
Yinda
Thanks for putting us on. I love her already!
PoojaG
Yay!!
Blessing Pius
Amazing rappers, I like Cardi b, only issue is at times she uses vulger words while rapping but she got the talent.
PoojaG
Yeah I love her too! She’s definitely very talented.
Opher
Thanks for that Pooj. This is not an area I’m familiar with. I shall give it all a good listen when I get a minute.
PoojaG
Yeah sometimes listening to a new genre is really fun- that’s how I got into country music!
Sakshi
Raja Kumari is my favourite Rapper, she is an Indian- American Rapper, song writer and singer from Claremont, California
PoojaG
Ooh I’ll have to check her out!
Zainab Chats
Yess I love Megan! I actually first heard her song savage when my friend was doing a TikTok! But she’s such a good singer!!
PoojaG
Yes she’s amazing!!
justcalmwildness
I am obsessed with Megan and Saweetie. I love the energy the bring in their song. I sometimes just attempt to rap to their songs as they play and that really lifts my spirits.
PoojaG
Same- I love their energy and rapping style!
Jim Borden
For some reason, rap doesn’t do it for me. I admire their talent, just not that style of music. Although I did like the movie 8 Mile.
PoojaG
Yeah I totally understand- it’s not for everyone. 8 Mile was really good!
ceponatia
One thing I told myself when I was 17 is that I’d never get out of touch with music like all of the “lame old people” around me had. I have absolutely no clue who any of the people in this post are (and I am a fan of hip hop) so that tells me I have failed. Haha.
PoojaG
Lol it’s not that you’ve failed I think it’s just that they’re not that mainstream. Maybe I’m the person who’s out of touch with current music lol!
Jim Lunsford
Nicki Minaj is my favorite female rapper. Eminem is my favorite living male rapper but my all-time favorites are Tupac and Biggie.
Hip-hop is my favorite genre of music. It stimulates my brain like no other form of music does.
PoojaG
I like Nicki but she’s probably not my favourite and I really like Eminem too- he’s definitely brilliant. Hip hop really is amazing!
Nabeela
Yo yo….
Miz 100
Good blog post, I myself love hip hop too!! I got to say, I’m not fans of none you mentioned. I’m familiar with their music. far as female rappers I’m into, they are Rapsody, Medinah Starr, Nitty Scott MC, Bahamadia, Snow Da Product, Remy..
PoojaG
Thanks! I like Remy Ma too but I haven’t heard the others you mentioned. I’ll be sure to check them out though.

PoojaG

Eromonsele Emmanuel
Good list! Like that Megan is topping it and I think I’ll listen to Princess Nokia, it’s the first time I’m hearing about her.
PoojaG
Thank you and yes Megan is amazing so of course she’s at the top!! I think you’ll like Princess Nokia she’s amazing!
tianiangelahibbert
Love this post!! I still have to send you the Savage videos lol! Also, Ive seen one city girl live in concert!
PoojaG
Omg that’s so cool! I would love to see them live- I think one of them was in prison for a bit so the other one was performing alone. Yes lol waiting for those Savage videos!
tianiangelahibbert
Yes! Unfortunately it wasn’t that good of a performance in my opinion because she wasn’t there ): It was basically just background music and her walking around! If I had the chance to see them BOTH I definitely would!
PoojaG
Aww that’s sad but maybe after all this is over you can see them both live- that would definitely be way better than just watching one of them!
tianiangelahibbert
Absolutely!!
Sovely Matters
Great post, thanks so much for sharing. I’m old school: Queen Latifah, Lil Kim, Mc Lyte, Missy Elliott,Foxy Brown, Eve, Salt-N-Pepa…
Christine
i love EVE so so much .
Sovely Matters
Same here.
PoojaG
Thank you! I definitely appreciate the OG’s but I am so into these new emerging female artists I needed to share them!
Sovely Matters
Which is cool, I’m glad you did. I need to have a listen. Thank you.
PoojaG
Thanks and hope you enjoy their videos!
Christine
Hey here!! Hmm I only knew two of the rappers lol, so this is could information for me. I’m more of an r’n b type of person, but I do like savage by Megan The stallion. Why do you love rap music?
PoojaG
I like R n’ B too for sure but I’m just way more into hip hop. I like it because I like the history behind it that I studied at university plus I listened to it as a teenager and it was kind of a lifesaver for me.
judeitakali
I’ll have to try those I don’t already have. City girls, kashdoll, saweetie. Cheers Pooja, for the share
PoojaG
You should they’re all very talented!
Adah M.M
My favorite female rapper is most certainly Cardi b. I love her vibe and her music.
PoojaG
I really love her music- she’s brilliant!
Shruti
Heyy, I really like your blog! Would appreciate it if you checked mine out too, cheers!
PoojaG
Thanks!
The Newbury Girl
It is so exciting seeing more female rappers getting recognition now. Not going to lie – Cardi B is a major guilty pleasure of mine. I actually saw her speak at a beauty conference a few years ago, too!! And I love the Saweetie x Kehlani Icy Girl remix!
PoojaG
Ooh mine too- I think she has a really fun personality and is actually a really good rapper! Not my top 5 favourites but definitely on my top 10. Ooh that song is sooo good!
