Diggin' In The Digits

We begin another month of March, celebrating women in Hip-Hop with the first female to explode: Roxanne Shanté.

Show Notes

The career and life of Roxanne Shanté is a microcosm of being a female. You're talented, you're confident and you get punished for it every step of the way. For the first of five retrospectives on females in Hip-Hop during Women's History Month, we look at Shanté, the first woman in Hip-Hop to pop off.
