For the past two years we have assembled over 200 rappers to partake in our most significant event of the year. The Rapathon is a 24-hour cipher that features over 100 rappers who rhyme non stop with no vulgarities. The males have outnumbered the females in past affairs. Our objective this time is to amass over 100 female MC's with hot lyrics, great energy, and stage presence to continue our record-breaking event.

Women have been a part of hip-hop since the beginning. Rappers like Sha-Rock, MC Lyte, Lauryn Hill, Roxanne Shante, and Queen Latifah, to name a few… changed hip-hop's perception of femcees. To be a participant in the Rapathon, you must rock the mike for 90 seconds straight without any cursing or degrading language. The showcase is open to women of all ages. Be on the lookout for our upcoming event titled "The Influence of Females in Hip Hop", where we will pay tribute to artists such as Salt-N-Pepa, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez, Lil Kim, etc.
