RAtheMC just got a decent review of her new mixtape, Victory Lap, in a Washington Post review and we don’t see anything except more wins in the future for her. She’s a dynamo with fantastic flow but she must be used to all the props by now. Back in November 2010 TheWellVersed.com included her as one of the 10 Dope Female Rappers Not Named Nicki Minaj and even that doesn’t do her justice. In our opinion there’s Jean Grae and RA, period. Then there’s all the rest of the female rappers! Keep your eyes OnStage because RA has an open invitation to talk with us about her music and what it takes to survive in the industry.
