Hip Hop Hooray (Leah)

We’re nearing the end of Women’s History Month, those 31 days a year when educators and lawmakers put the spotlight on women’s contributions to this great nation of ours.  I’ll add to that today by spotlighting women’s additions to the genre of hip-hop in this month’s playlist.  Women make amazing music even as obstacles exist to them doing so in a genre whose mainstream aspect is characterized by rank misogyny.  Here are some of those women. Listen up and party down.
