VIDEO – 10 Spanish LGBTQIA+ rappers to listen to

To celebrate Pride Month in music, check out 10 Spanish LGBTQIA+ rappers selected from the 139 Spanish artists and the 455 LGBTQIA+ artists listed on Madame Rap !

Spain is the third most LGBT-friendly country in the world and the fourth most LGBT-friendly country in Europe (LGBT Equality Index 2023/ILGA Europe 2024).

In 2005, Spain became the third country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage (and adoption), after the Netherlands and Belgium.

In 2021, the country authorized access to treatment for everyone.

In 2023, Spanish deputies passed a law allowing people over 16 to change their legally registered gender on official documents without medical supervision and banned conversion therapies.

According to Eurobarometer 2023, 87% of Spanish citizens believe that LGBTQIA+ people should have the same rights and freedoms as heterosexual people.

Last but not least, Spain’s pride marches have no equivalent in any other European country. In 2017, the Madrid Pride (MADO) welcomed 3 500 000 visitors, the third largest attendance in the world after New York and Sรฃo Paulo.

Playlist #62 IDAHOBIT – 40 LGBTQIA+ rappers from 42 countries

On this International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), Madame Rap calls on you to support LGBTQIA+ rappers around the world.

Why is that?

LGBTphobia can take the form of physical and psychological violence, as well as economic violence. As a result, LGBTQIA+ people suffer more from precarity.

More than 15% of them are among the 25% lowest incomes of the European Union.[1]

In the U.S. as well, people who identify as LGBTQIA+ experience poverty more than cisgender heterosexual individuals (22% vs. 16%).[2]

Unsurprisingly, the music and rap sectors are not spared. In the UK, 1 in 5 LGBTQIA+ artists are in debt.[3] 55% of queer musicians say that a lack of sustainable income is an obstacle to pursuing and developing their music careers, and 29% say they are unable to support themselves or their families.

As Deezer recently announced they had removed 26 million tracks from their catalog, and Spotify have just changed their royalty payment system (tracks must now have reached at least 1,000 streams in the last 12 months to be eligible for monetization), one way to support these artists is to listen to their music.

For this reason, here is our IDAHOBIT playlist of 40 LGBTQIA+ rappers from 42 countries selected from the 443 LGBTQIA+ artists listed on sur Madame Rap, for you to discover, listen to, support and share.

VIDEO – 15 German female rappers you need to know

In Germany, as in many other European countries, hip hop culture began to emerge in the 1980s. Strongly inspired by the United States, local rap gradually developed. Although female rappers remain little visible on this scene, they have been active from the start. ย 

As early as 1995, Sabrina Setlur was rapping under the name Schwester S, and her track “Du liebst mich nicht” reached number 1 in Germany in 1997. Covered in 2015 by Shirin David, the track enabled the Hamburg rapper to reach the top 10 of the German and Austrian charts.

At the same time, the pop-rap trio Tic Tac Toe enjoyed commercial success in Eastern European and German-speaking countries. Meanwhile, Cora E. was making a name for herself as a B-girl and MC on the Heidelberg scene, before conquering the mainstream with her track “Schlรผsselkind”.

To give women the place they deserve in the history of German rap, Madame Rap presents 15 female rappers you need to know, selected from the 104 German artists listed on our website.
