They also talk about Tierra Whack's new project, Saweetie's music career and performances, and Cardi B donating funds to fire victims.

And yes, this episode is a little ghetto. It gets better. We promise.

Given the impact that Nicki Minaj has had on contemporary female rap, it makes sense that Sesali and Pierre's last episode of Season 1 is all about the Queen of Rap. This episode was recorded after Nicki re-released her Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape. 

We hope that you have enjoyed season 1 of Purse First, the podcast about the culture of femme rap. Please binge, share, rate and review our show so that we can come back stronger for Season 2.

After months of fan girling, Sesali finally has the opportunity chat with Houston rapper, KenTheMan. Ken and Pierre are two different sides of the Gemini's many personalities for our Ass Last Segment. But first, Pierre and Sesali dive into Megan Thee Stallion's hiatus, Saweetie's Triller performance and decision to go to boot camp, and whether or not Rolling Ray should just be a rapper after beefing with Coi LeRay. 

It's time to talk about fat women in rap. This week Sesali and Pierre are joined by Houston Texas newcomer Fee Tha MC to talk about her debut on the Twitter streets and plus size representation. For Ass Last, we're tackling awkward dates.

Pierre and Sesali also confirm that Kash Doll is the og Doll, ponder whether there's smoke in the city with City Girls, and argue about Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, again. 

Pierre and Sesali talk about rap girls competing for the 10th spot in XXL's 2021 Freshman class. Then, Sesali is joined by the first lady of Griselda Records, Armani Caesar to talk about her music, her business, and being a bad bitch. For our Ass Last segment, Keke's man just came home from jail and isn't adjusting well.
