Netflix is set to explore the past, present, and future of women in Hip-Hop in an upcoming docuseries. On Tuesday (July 25), the platform officially released the trailer for Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop, featuring iconic women whose contributions to the culture go beyond their lyrical prowess.

Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, MC Sha-Rock, Rah Digga, Roxanne Shanté, Monie Love, Yo-Yo, Remy Ma, Da Brat, and more all speak to the genre’s history and legacy within the doc. Rising stars and current chart toppers including Kash Doll, Latto, Coi Leray, Tierra Whack, Rapsody, Chika, Saweetie, and more also contribute from their own modern-day perspective. 

One particular legend confirmed to appear in the series is MC Sha-Rock, who is largely known as the “Mother of the Mic.” She made massive waves as a member of Funky 4 + 1, the first group to both score a record deal and perform live on national television. The label the group was signed to, Sugar Hill Records, was owned by Sylvia Robinson, who was behind groundbreaking records like Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five‘s “The Message,” released in 1979 and 1982, respectively. Crash Crew, Treacherous Three, and the West Street Mob also saw success under Robinson’s leadership, paving the way for what’s become a globalized genre.

By giving flowers to originators like Sha-Rock and Roxanne Shante or hearing real talk from contemporary superstars like Saweetie and Coi Leray, Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop contextualizes the history of the music that changed the world within the wider social, racial, and political landscape of the times and, crucially, through a female lens.
