...bucks yet. But she's well positioned. Imperial, a thumping single off her album, is in the Top 20 on the Billboard rap charts. Busta Rhymes calls her "unquestionably the best female MC." He's almost right. Lauryn Hill is still the best. But on Dirty Harriet, Rah Digga proves herself to be the best to come along since Hill. Rah's voice is rough and low; at times she sounds like a man.

They look as if they just...
...suburban stereotypes of urban life: Look kids, isn't DMX scary?!? Certainly there are great hip-hoppers out there--Lauryn Hill and Nas to name two--but as record labels jump on the rap bandwagon, the disposable acts are piling up. As two female performers, Bahamadia and Rah Digga, observe on a recent duet, "Mediocre rappers gettin' all this play/While the underground rappers stay around...
