Purse First is the only podcast exclusively about female and queer rap! We ride the waves these artists have created, follow the moves they’re making, and critique the culture they do it in. What we don’t do is worry about who’s clapping their cheeks. We are the antidote to traditional hip-hop podcasts that rarely talk about female artists and when they do, the gworls don’t get enough respect on their names.
Every other week, Pierre and Sesali review new music and videos, interview artists and other industry insiders, and offer hilarious commentary on what’s happening in the world of female and queer rap. It’s the perfect mix of humor, industry perspective, and belief in a real bitch proverb: Purse first… ass last.
