Pierre and Sesali have a really interesting conversation about the new era of Nicki Minaj, her relationship with City Girls, Cardi B.'s lawsuit against a Tasha K, and celebrities and blog culture. We're also joined by Georgia peach, Pap Chanel, an up and comer from the country who is in the middle of her first conspiracy theory.

Chicago gworls to the front! Pierre and Sesali kick the season off by chatting with another Chicago MC, mommy vlogger, and cannabis entrepreneur Queen Key!

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.

This is the Season 2 premiere of Purse First, the only podcast exclusively about female and queer rap!

Pierre and Sesali recount their top 3 headline highlights from our time away, their favorite project drops, including their own, and they announce their new home!

Go catch on the only podcast about queer and female rap, hosted by Sesali Bowen and Pierre Phipps! Subscribe and be on the lookout because Season 2 is coming soon! 

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.
