From Megan Thee Stallion to GloRilla, It's A New Era for Women in Rap

Produced by Kate LoPresti

Engineered by Isaac Jones

Featuring Lindsay Zoladz

For Lindsay Zoladz, a pop music critic at The Times, one of the most notable trends in music lately has been the number of female rappers on the charts.

Up until now, the norm for most of rap history has been that only one woman could find success in the genre at a time. But over the past few years, an entire vanguard of female voices has emerged -- having hits, becoming household names and proving that more is more.

On this episode, Zoladz puts together a playlist of a few of the women dominating the rap game right now.
