The New Generation of Rap with Lakeyah

Wondery
About this episode

From LL Cool J to Jay-Z to Nicki Minaj, the rap genre has evolved quite a bit over the years. Sharon helps us take a trip down memory lane to look at all the different phases of rap we’ve seen — can you guess who her favorites are?? Then, we’re joined by our guest: a Gen Z rapper from Milwaukee who goes by The Female GOAT. That’s right, it’s Lakeyah! We get into all the issues that still persist in the music industry — we’re looking at you, misogyny — where rap music is headed, and how the genre is diversifying. You know Lakeyah won’t hold back! Listen until the end for a roleplay you will NOT want to miss (fans of “Pimp,” this one’s for you)!!
