The New Generation of Female MCs

Nicki Minaj single-handedly put female MCs back in play. With the exception of Trina, seemingly every relevant female MC of the '90s and '00s was on hiatus when Minaj caught fire with a string of scene-stealing guest appearances in the late aughts. The success of her double-platinum debut, Pink Friday, opened the door for a new crop of femcees to follow. Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks have flirted with mainstream success while Angel Haze and Snow the Product have been bubbling in the underground. Here's a mix of songs from hip-hop's new generation of female MCs.
