Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been a number of Brazilian Hip-Hoppers that have caught my eye, or better, my ear. Among those that I like are artists such as MV Bill, Racionais MCs, Rappin’ Hood, Marcelo D2, Slim Rimografia, Parteum and his group Mzuri Sana. Of the current school of rappers, I like Emicida, Crioulo, Kamau, Djonga, Baco Exu do Blues and Senzala Hi-Tech. I have to admit that I don’t listen to as much Hip Hop as I used to, but of what I’ve heard, these are the artists that I like. But, some of you must be thinking, where are the ladies?

Let’s be real. Like its American counterpart, Brazilian Hip Hop is also dominated by the men, but the ladies are there and have made great strides in gaining followings among rap fans. And not just in Brazil. Below is a short list of Brazilian female and one transgender that have been able to attract fans outside of Brazil’s borders. A few of these ladies have been featured in previous posts but if you’re not familiar with them, check ’em out!
