This mixtape aims to highlight the diversity of queer women rappers and the varied ways they perform gender and sexuality through their music. It brings together artists from across the diaspora, including those based on the African continent and in the United States, while also considering how factors like age shape rap identity and artistic expression. By showcasing this range, the project emphasizes that there is no singular way to embody queerness within hip-hop. Ultimately, the key takeaway is that queer women rappers occupy complex, multifaceted positions that challenge dominant narratives about gender, queerness, and the genre itself.
