We continue our celebration of Women in Hip Hop with the second installment of our 15th Annual International Women’s Day Radio special.
This one kicks off with a dope mixset of some great emcees. After that, we look closely at 1984 and the women who were making noise on the mic in those early days on Hip Hop culture. That year is also notable for one of the biggest rap beefs in history. The answer records came fast and in such a frenzy that nothing has ever matched that volume in any rap battle since. And it all started with a woman by the name of Roxanne.
