In this episode of ARkaiVE, we're celebrating the power, pen, and presence of women in rap — from the groundbreaking legends to today's chart-topping stars. We take it back to the pioneers like MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, break down the innovative genius of Missy Elliott, and talk impact, legacy, and lyricism with icons like Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj. Then we fast forward to the new wave — Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, and more — unpacking how today's women are flipping the game with authenticity and bars. This one's a love letter to the women who built, expanded, and are now dominating the culture. Tap in for music history, honest takes, and our favorite classic moments in rap. ✨ Produced by Mountain City Productions 🎧 Hosted by Kaira + Jonathan Nigel Moore 🎶 More at bykaira.com #ARkaiVE #WomenInRap #HipHopHistory #MissyElliott #NickiMinaj #CardiB #Glorilla #MClyte #Podcast
