Rapsody Explains Why She’s Not A “Female MC” & Raps A Lauryn Hill Verse | For The Record

Rapsody’s latest album, ‘Eve,’ is stacked with guest appearances by J. Cole, GZA, JID, Queen Latifah, D’Angelo, and more. More notably, the North Carolina rapper makes a concerted effort to pay tribute to her inspirations, naming each song on the 16-track project after a black woman. On the latest episode of ‘For The Record,’ Rapsody sat down with Genius’ Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman to discuss ‘Eve,’ speak out against fans pitting women artists against each other, and explain why she doesn’t let the term “lyricist” limit her.
