what's good peoples!!!
so it's me again! bringin you another "She's So Fresh" Fridayz, doin my best to forward the woman MC in this art we all love so much, Hip Hop.
this week, in keeping with my ones to watch theme of last couple Fridayz, I wanted to tell y'all about this sista that if you don't know about, you need to know about.
RatheMC
coming out of DC, RatheMC is bringing her view of the world to a speaker near you. she just completed "The Next Generation" tour that went from DC to BK, NY and rocked stages with Wu-Tang, Raheem Davaugn and Damien Marley.
her first project "
A Mixtape About Something...I Think" got folks attention with the lyrical talent and wit displayed and it was awarded
www.hiphopgame.com's "
Demo of the Month".
settling down from traveling RatheMC answered a couple of questions I hit her with:
me: how long have you been rhyming?
RatheMC: about 9 years now
me: what's the biggest hurdle you've encountered?
RatheMC: Getting through to my male listeners. A lot of guys tend to have this stereotype of female rappers (sex sells) and those of us who don't fit into that box get ignored. My biggest hurdle is definitely getting heard as an equal to my male counterparts.

me: what is your most memorable Hip Hop experience?
RatheMC: Ripping the mic with Wu Tang! I'll never forget that.
me: what do you love most about MCing?
RatheMC: Performing. I love to watch my lyrics come to life! lol
this sista's got her own style, her own opinions and her own ideas and is making sure that once you see her hold that mic, you won't soon forget. I had the pleasure of seeing her rock in DC and I was so impressed not just with her skill but her command of the stage and the audience. when I found out she was only 16 at the time, all I can say is she is definitely one we should be watching! as recently as this morning, she's been nominated for an MTV2/Comcast VMA Award for "Best Breakout DC Artist".
stay up on her at any one of the links below and let's support the next generation!
