Women have always been a part of music and the music industry. Plus, many of the biggest artists today are women. In fact, 8 out of 10 of the songs on the current Billboard Hot 100 are performed by or feature women. It’s so normal that we may forget to appreciate the women who spend their time entertaining us through their expression. It’s International Women’s Day, and we’re shining a spotlight on five female artists to celebrate.

Connie Diiamond

Very few women in the rap game do it like Connie Diiamond. The “Raid’ artist is proficient at drill rap. She has an authentically raw and aggressive style that maintains a certain femininity. This is not usually easy for women to express but she does this flawlessly. Her effortless flow is exquisitely immaculate. Despite releasing her latest EP ‘Gift Raps’ last December, Connie has been active doing shows and guest appearances. She’s always steadily moving and on her grind. New listeners and current fans won’t have long to wait as her new song ‘Move’ releases on March 10.

Rella Gz

Ice Spice

If we’re talking about the hottest female rapper right now, then Ice Spice has the crown. Many fans and listeners find her to be quite attractive. Her guest appearances on Twitch streamer Kai Cenat’s show has pushed her popularity amongst young men and teenagers. However, there’s more to this orange haired starlet’s appeal than how she looks. She has an incredibly feminine way of rapping. Furthermore, she adds a bit of emotion to her lyrics. The ‘In Ha Mood’ artist’s smooth cadence perfectly compliments producer Riot’s banging instrumentals. Her gentle approach to drill portrays an air of grace with a hint of deserved uppishness.
