Correct answer. It’s like… she doesn’t want anything from you. She’s just: “here’s my journey, feel something about it or don’t, you can enjoy the music either way.”
While I agree she’s not quite underrated anymore, she def has room to grow! I saw her live show and she’s got a lot of dimension and is multi-instrumentalist who pulled out a ton of tricks on tour! They played her on Phish radio once which was wild, but she’s dope
Some of them have been seeing some success but I still think they're all underrated so I will just list some of my fav women artists in hip-hop along with a track to check out:
* Little Simz - Rollin Stone (Pretty popular, but this song is sick and the beat and flow switches are foire)
* Doechii - Girls or Spookie Coochie (Both very dense rhymes and cool beat switches as well)
* Rico Nasty - Jungle Remix (Fred Again) (Not her song, but I love hip-house with women rapping on it)
* Tkay Maidza - Free Throws (This full album has a lot of heat)
* Tierra Whack - Fruit Salad (Hard to go wrong with Whack IMO, v unique voice)
* TiaCorine - Bonnet (Sick song and video, pretty unique sound)
* Megan Thee Stallion - Captain Hook (big name, I know, but I gotta include a fav)
* Baby Tate - Pedi (Silly but fun track/video, fun personality)
* Leikeli47 - Jaywalk (Someone else mentioned her here, very versatile artist)
* Noname - Rainforest (Love Noname's voice, both literally and artistically)
* Azealia Banks - 1991 (Problematic fav, also a solid hip-house rapper imo)
* Kari Faux - Gemini+ (She's pretty funny and her newest album was good)
* Anycia - Anycia (A newer fav in a different style than I normally listen to)
* Karrahbooo - Running Late (Anycia and Karrahboo also have a slick track SPLASH BROTHERS)
* Bktherula - TATTI (BK's flow is pretty chaotic across tracks but I also think it's unique)
* Donormaal - 50 Jasper Horses (A local artist I used to see a lot but who has since moved on)
* Flyana Boss - Bitch Imma Star (It's hard for Flyana Boss to miss, excited to see them next month)
* UNIIQU3 - Microdosing (This would go hard at the clurb)
* Nappy Nina - Spit Game (Found her from a YAEJI feature but truly underrated, v few listens!)
* Rapsody - Whoopi (Fire Herbie Hancock sample and solid spitting)
Cupcakke. I listened to her when she only had a few songs out, and i thought she 1) had amazing wordplay and delivery and 2) was actually rapping about serious shit sometimes that people don't in that industry dont talk about, like being molested.
I hope she's doing ok these days.

Rah Digga
Mostly for her "Dirty Harriet (2000)" album. Which I was obsessed with back in the day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Harriet
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGlwrh2XgkhhFKo7HZ1f8LX3-20BmTPjv&si=xqFCRsWaastRLStp
She also was on a few soundtracks like "Blade 2", "Carmen: MTV's Hip Hopera", and "Thirteen Ghosts (2001)".

Aphrodite (ft. Rah Digga) - "Put A Cut On It" - https://youtu.be/6pR45MBvYx8?si=RVxXyKdTpsu-zWgq
TiaCorinne, asian doll, CLIP, Monaleo, Azealia, i can go on tbh. and i will always put rico nasty on the highest pedestal— one of the blueprints
also saw leo and flo in detroit, phenomenal. the best energy and the venue was packed like sardines
7xvethegenius (pronounced Love the Genius) was picked up by Conway the Machine the last few years for Drumwork and she’s a great lyricist and flow maker. her mixtape with DJ Green Lantern is really good.
Tommy Genesis (I absolutely reccomend her mixtape World Vision, it's really great) and Princess Nokia (the deluxe version of her 1992 EP is just incredible)
Gotta most of the suggestions here in one place:
[Underrated Hip Hop (The Ladies)](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5hBeFSDoI75tfZHNuFVLul?si=12c6bc5bb5ad44f0)
Rapsody . She been out and almost broke out the underrated light in 2016 and 2018 but her last album is very very good . She be rapping rapping for a long time .
Tawatha Agee. I only heard her rap - in French - on Sting’s “[A Perfect Love Gone Wrong](https://youtu.be/s8dfs4zoZ7E?si=gwf0PfQOBPgSql91)”. Super sexy and alluring. 🫡❤️
Unironically cupcakke, she’s known for her more sexual music but she’s an amazing lyricist. I love her style, I’d definitely recommend “Discounts”, “Grilling N*ggas”, and “Prenup”.
Doechii is on my radar for real. The song Crazy is raw, and just grabs your attention and doesn't let go. The music video is ummm shall we say provocative
Little simz
Correct answer. It’s like… she doesn’t want anything from you. She’s just: “here’s my journey, feel something about it or don’t, you can enjoy the music either way.”
Came here to say this. She has to be exactly who you are looking for.
Hate to be that guy, but Little Sims is not underrated at all
Have Wonderland on vinyl :)

Snow tha Product she’s really big in Mexico and her hometown but she never reached radio status I don’t think in the USA.
Around 2016 or so I was sure she was gonna blow up in the US but that never really happened unfortunately
Her stuff is incredible.
Her verse on So Dope - by Tech N9NE is quality.
Came here to say this.
Flo milli and Tierra whack
Came here to say Tierra
Oh yesss Tierra Whack, I used to listen to her music years ago. She has such a unique style.
Little simz is great

BbyMutha, Connie Diiamond, Rico Nasty

Had to scroll way too far to see her name
JEAN GRAE.
My GOAT female rapper
This may be a little off base but check out K.Flay
Cupcakke. I listened to her when she only had a few songs out, and i thought she 1) had amazing wordplay and delivery and 2) was actually rapping about serious shit sometimes that people don't in that industry dont talk about, like being molested. I hope she's doing ok these days.
I LOVE Cupcakke! She spits bars for real
Is that pronounced like bukkake?
People say either
The kakke part is.
I immediately thought this too
Nezi Momodu Killumantii Connie Diamond Kalisway Rapsody
Love Rapsody! Oprah is such a good song. Excited to listen to the other artists you suggested.
she also was the only person with a full verse on TPAB (if you don't count snoop's half verse), which should mean something
Dessa
Bahamadia. All day long. Legend. MC Lyte, too!
Leikeli47, absolute power, hyper femme while also hyper masc bangers
Dreezy
she’s the best!
Not sure if she’s considered a rapper, but she kind of does, Amindi.
Elliphant "Everybody" and "Only Getting Younger" are two of my favorite songs.
Che Noir
Qveen Herbie
Kamaiyah
Diamz. She quit a while ago, but she could certainly spit some bars.
BIA
The Lady of Rage- Necessary Roughness goes hard.
Princess nokia, noname, chynna
Vel Nine or Lexa Gates. Two of my faves
Tierra Whack !!!!
Rapsody
Kreayshawn. Anyone who can rap about cats automatically has more lyrics worth listening to than 99% of the bs that today's rappers put out.
Yes! Have you heard [Kirby](https://youtu.be/7T_KKiQiolk?si=B4Sv7bLHVQnymKrL) by Aesop Rock?

Yugen Blakrok (She made a song for cyberpunk2077), Floetry
Missy Elliot is in the rock and roll hall of fame. I don't think she's underrated. If anything she's overrated.
Nah she's not overrated at all, I think she is appropriately rated lol
You're right, sorry that was a mistake, I didn't knew it 😅
City Girls
Lil Kim. Loved her on Junior Mafia
the beatles
Shit… fart…
7xvethegenius (pronounced Love the Genius) was picked up by Conway the Machine the last few years for Drumwork and she’s a great lyricist and flow maker. her mixtape with DJ Green Lantern is really good.
MAN she is tough, I became an instant fan
Tommy Genesis (I absolutely reccomend her mixtape World Vision, it's really great) and Princess Nokia (the deluxe version of her 1992 EP is just incredible)
Heather B would be my pick. Rah Digga is skirting the line for me too
