Rap might feel like a genre that is mostly meant for men; a large percentage of rap lyrics are full of violence, sex, and masculinity, with no space for feminity. Of course, this is a misconception caused by the influence of the music industry, which marginalizes the work of women. Women, even with their tougher starting position full of prejudice, manage to produce rap from its complete beginnings, and there are a countless number of projects released by women every year. One of the pioneers is MC Lyte and her album Lyte As A Rock (1988), or Lauryn Hill, who is a member of the Fugees and back in 1998 released her only solo project called The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, an album that took over the rest of the nineties. As our first Album of the Week produced by a female rapper, we chose Rapsody’s Eva.
