J5 1.2 : Female MC’s
03Jan11
It's time to recognize that female mc's play an important part of this genre of music. They have contributed many hot tracks to the historical panorama, but are sparsely represented by mainstream media. The industry is male dominated and the nation tends to skew male, making progress in this industry difficult. In spite of these obstacles, all genuine mc's with lyrical skills should be celebrated. Today's show features a few examples. Listen Up!!!
