Keeping up with music news and resources like Spotify\u2019s giant and regularly updated New Music Friday playlist are great ways to keep your listening habits from getting stale. Sometimes, though, you need a deeper dive. That\u2019s where Uproxx\u2019s Baylee Lefton<\/a> comes in as she routinely offers quick-hit lists of songs you need to add into your rotation this week.<\/p>\n She just delivered a fresh mix and it honors the women of hip-hop in the 1990s.<\/p>\n The mix kicks off with \u201cAfro Puffs\u201d by The Lady Of Rage, followed by Lin Que\u2019s \u201cThis Is It,\u201d Polyrhythm Addicts\u2019 \u201cTake Me Home\u201d featuring Pharaoh Monch, Shortie No Mass\u2019 \u201cLike This,\u201d The Herbaliser\u2019s \u201cWhen I Shine\u201d featuring Bahamdia, Paula Perry\u2019s \u201cExtra, Extra,\u201d and MC Lyte\u2019s \u201cPoor Georgie.\u201d<\/p>\n Baylee concludes, \u201cThe ladies knew what they were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n A couple years ago, the Kennedy Center (before the name change and subsequent performance cancellations<\/a>) put a spotlight on hip-hop\u2019s women, at the Kennedy Center Honors in late 2023<\/a>. In honor of Queen Latifah, there were performances by Rhapsody, MC Lyte, and Monie Love, while Missy Elliott also spoke about Latifah\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n Check out the video above and to listen to the full songs yourself, hit up the link in Lefton\u2019s Instagram bio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
