MobbDeen: Sasha Go Hard’s Third Round Knockout
Deen survived All-Star Weekend in Houston.
One of my favorite rappers working today is Sean Price. Yes, he of the unrelenting hilarity and goonery. A little while ago on Twitter, some innocent soul asked him about his favorite female rappers or a closely related question. In pure Sean P fashion, he responded, and I’m paraphrasing a bit here, that he thinks that “female rappers suck.” Harsh, if you ask me.
Why did I type that opening paragraph? I don’t fucking know. What I do know is that for the first time since Missy took her hiatus of sorts, I’ve found a female rapper that I can really enjoy and root for. And given that I’ll never really be entirely sure of where Missy’s genius begins and Timbaland’s ends, I think I’ll extend that female rapper drought thing all the way back to Bahamadia’s debut. For the lazy idiots amongst you, that shit was called Kollage. Go listen to it.
I’m trying to say that I’m always hoping to hear a female MC that I can champion with a straight face and it’s been rough going in recent years. Eve used to be the shit, then she decided to act an bang African dictators instead of rapping – then returned wit

When a local music scene hits the national spotlight, while much of the hype is for the first artists out of the gate, the acts coming up behind them are the ones that truly blow up as the way has been paved for them. Though Chief Keef, Lil’ Durk and Lil’ Reese put Chicago’s South Side “drill” rap scene on the map, it may be young female MC Sasha Go Hard (nee Yaneisha Franklin) and the others in their wake who take it nationwide.
Last week, Sasha spoke with the Tribune before leaving for New York, where she was slated to perform at the CMJ Music Marathon, a festival that showcases underground acts for college radio and music media. If a young artist’s CMJ shows get buzz, it can launch a career and garner record label and press attention.
