femcee
Woman leading events
A femcee is a female MC or rapper.
The term blends "female" with "emcee" (itself a spelling-out of MC, for master of ceremonies).
In hip-hop culture, femcee specifically designates women who rap, distinguishing them in a male-dominated genre.
Missy Elliott is one of the most successful femcees in hip-hop history.
Some women in rap embrace the term while others prefer simply being called rappers or MCs without gender qualification.
