    19 Queer & Trans Women Rappers Who Are Slaying the Game

    If you need some LGBTQ+ women MCs to listen to, we've got your back!

    Queer Women Rappers Killing the game

    Women have always been a part of hip hop, and queer women have always been there too. From groundbreakers and legends in the genre to music superstars and young MCs on the rise, queer and trans women are slaying the rap game.

    These artists have always been influencing others and pushing the genre forward, showing the world what rap can be. Heck, some of them have even invented their own genres! Queer and trans women know how to change the game, and these rappers show that off in spades.

    Here are 19 of our favorites!
