4. Azealia Banks
Unafraid and unashamed, rapper Azealia Banks leaves it all on the table for us. Check out her videos for “Chasing Time,” “Liquorice,” and “1991.” If anyone can rock a star-spangled bikini and still look fierce, it’s Azealia Banks. She also sells loads of merch for her fans to snatch up (and there are tons of fans, don’t you worry!) One of her trademark sayings is “Broke with expensive taste,” an indicator of her playmate-slash-beauty queen persona. Raised in Harlem, New York, she not only raps, but writes some of her songs, too. We definitely want to hear more from this 24-year-old.
3. Eve
We just gotta give Eve some love. The Philly native has been a mainstay on the female rap and hip-hop stage for years. Some of her many achievements include several hit singles, a Grammy Award, and multi-million dollar sales for 3 of her albums. Even Entertainment Weekly had to give up for Eve, stating that she “set a new standard in hip-hop.” For her fourth album, she went with her own record label, moved to London, and really explored a different side of herself. So at 37 years old, she still has what it takes to hang with the young guns!
