It’s been a long time ….
I missed y’all. I’m out here looking at the mainstream music scene and it had me wondering where all the women in rap are? I mean Cardi B is out there and Meghan Thee Stallion is out there aaaaaaaaand where is everyone else? As far as mainstream goes, I’m still waiting for Remy, Eve, Lauryn Hill, Ms. Jade, Jean Grey …. I mean …. I’m saying ….
Now, as far as underground …. I need to know … where are y’all at?

the good folks over at the B Side Show have a post with all type of video from She’s So Fresh III out in NY. Shout out to the host, Tasty Keish and the woman that puts it all together, Bless Roxwell.
From the B Side Show:
“One of the best places to catch some of this raw talent is at the She’s So Fresh” showcase put together by fellow femcee Bless Roxwell. As always the last showcase, held on 2/4/10, was a success with talent from the 5 boroughs and Canada blessing the mic.”
View photos from the event on Bless Roxwell’s site.
