This week, Cardi B stormed back to the top of the Billboard 100 with Am I The Drama?, her first album in seven years. On it, she fires lyrical shots at rival female MCs who smile in her face but shade her behind the scenes, or worse, hook up with her ex-husband. Love her or hate her, Cardi’s reign has coincided with a new wave of women in Hip Hop. Once labels saw her success, they couldn’t sign female rappers fast enough.
For decades, women’s voices in rap were rare, often overshadowed by a male-dominated industry. Now, the tables have turned and the loudest, boldest voices in Hip Hop are female, and they’re inspiring audiences worldwide.
One of those voices belongs to 문moon, a trilingual rapper of Vietnamese, Chadian, and Senegalese descent. Fluent in English, Korean, and Vietnamese, she’s been carving her lane online with a fearless attitude and a blend of Drill and Trap. Her new single, ‘LIVIN’ IT,’ is the latest proof that she’s leveling up. With swagger that feels like she’s been in the game for years, 문moon brings sharp bars and global flair to the mic, proving she’s here to stay.
