    My last mix was a retrospective on 90s Hip Hop that included no rappers who identify as female. Obviously this was not on purpose, but it is absolutely proof positive of how deeply I have internalized the patriarchy. Some of the best rappers of all time identify as women, so I've decided to create a mix that only includes female MCs and spoken word artists.
