WOMEN ON THE RISE: ACTS WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT Symphreona Clark

Megan Thee Stallion

If you’ve been on the lookout for what’s happening in music, you’ve might’ve heard the name Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston rapper quickly rose to prominence by posting videos of her rapping and freestyling on YouTube and Instagram. She became the first female rapper to sign to 300 Entertainment, an independent label with a roster that includes artists like Young Thug, Gunna, and Tee Grizzley. When she’s not making music, she’s studying health administration at Texas State University and has been vocal about not being boxed into a persona based on the music she makes — that she and women alike can be intelligent and still embrace their sexuality the same way that men do. Due to her already being compared to iconic female rappers like Trina and Lil’ Kim, and with her debut album “Fever” in the works, it’s safe to say she’s one of 2019’s top artists to watch.
