1. Women of Rap Shirt<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPay homage to women in rap with a shirt or sweatshirt donning the face of Lil’ Kim, Nicki Minaj, Queen Latifah, and also ill Camille, a celebrated MC who will be starting her first semester at Berklee Online this January. Etsy artist Trini Geecan can personalize the shirt further if there\u2019s a rapper you\u2019d like to see included. We\u2019d obviously recommend Dutch ReBelle<\/a>, one of the featured artists from our Roaring Crowdfund<\/a><\/em> podcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSee the Women of Rap shirt in the featured image.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
