In this episode of Purse First, we’re paying tribute to queer icon and personality, The Big Purrr, Rolling Ray, in the wake of his passing. We also have updates on the Lil Nas X incident and Cardi B’s civil case. Ice Spice has surprised all of us by collaborating with Latto for a new single, plus new drops from Erica Banks and Lizzo that we love and hate. We’re offering our opinions on the Big 3 of female rap debate sparked by Billboard and the disappearance of female rappers from the 2025 VMAs.
Purse First is the only podcast exclusively about female and queer rap, hosted by Sesali Bowen (@badfatblackgirl) and Pierre Phipps (@PrinceCharmingP).
