Rapsody Shares a List of Her Favorite Current Female Rappers

Rapsody stopped by "Everyday Struggle" as the show's latest guest.

The North Carolina rapper shared some of her favorite women in rap of the moment.

"I'm excluding myself, of course," she said. "Cardi's my favorite. Leikeli47, Tokyo Jetz—I love her. I like Megan Thee Stallion but I just haven't heard enough because I've been so busy. Ill Camille in the West Coast in LA. And the fifth one, there's an artist out of Texas I like a lot, her name is [OMB] Bloodbath."

When asked about Jermaine Dupri's recent highly-criticized comments about female rappers, she responded, "I was a judge on The Rap Game, that's the first time we met, and then after that we went to the studio for a day," she said of how they first met. She then moved into sharing her assessment of the importance of co-signing. "For him, that was a perfect opportunity to shed light on people that you do like. I think we focus sometimes too much on what we don't necessarily like and what's not for us instead of talking about what you do like . . . You're Jermaine Dupri, a legend, your voice carries weight, so co-sign somebody, whoever that may be."
