Over the past few years that OnStage has featured the work of local artists in the OnStage Video Showcase we’ve had the opportunity and pleasure of viewing the work of practically every name you can think of when it comes to DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Our area is filled to the brim with talent – always has been - and the spigot doesn’t show any sign of turning off anytime soon. But like the national scene what we aren’t seeing too much of are the ladies. So our question; are we seriously uninformed and missing out on dope local female MC’s, or are there really not enough around?
Obviously the best way to get an answer would be to just ask DJ Heat whose DC Mumbo Sauce is the signature place to go for all things local in Rap and Hip Hop. But DJ Heat is busy, so we put the question to you. Can you come up with a list of local female MC’s who can rock the stage anywhere, anytime, and when you compile that list can you do it without including RAtheMC?
Here are three names that we do have in the Video Showcase we think should be included in any list of ten:
If Akua Naru was from our area she’d be at the head of the list, but she’s originally from New Haven so, never mind. But back to you; Take a minute to support your local artist by adding a comment telling our viewers which Sistah Spittas are on your list. We’ll follow up with an article on your choices and our thoughts on their talent.
