Our favorite female rappers were ruling the charts while setting records last summer, and they’re planning to do it again in 2021. Several of the world’s leading hip-hop stars dropped new singles last week and gave us catchy songs we’re expected to hear everywhere all summer long.

Doja Cat – “Need to Know”

Doja Cat’s third studio album Planet Her is just around the corner, and she recently gave us a taste of things to come with the new single “Need to Know”. The song is accompanied by a futuristic music video that pays homage to such sci-fi classics as Blade Runner and The Fifth Element.

Megan Thee Stallion – “Thot Sh**”

After taking a break from recording solo music and mostly collaborating with other artists, Megan Thee Stallion finally gave us her first solo single of 2021. “Thot Sh**” is one of her most raw and unapologetic songs to date and it shows her fully embracing her alter ego Tina Snow.

Cardi B – “Type Sh**” ft. Migos

Cardi B hasn’t released any new solo singles last week, but she collaborated with Migos on a new song “Type Sh**” from their upcoming album Culture III. She’s currently working on her sophomore album, which will feature her chart-topping hits “Up” and “WAP”, so it’s safe to expect she’ll surprise us with some more new music this summer.
