I found out about FELONi (Trish Best) when Jen sent me to her MySpace page.

From Diversity Remixed: The Uprising of the Gay Hip-Hop Movement (Sapience Magazine, August 2005) :

Best feels that gay and lesbian hip-hop artists shouldn’t be afraid to come out and say whatever’s on their mind. “When it comes to art, it doesn’t matter who you are or what you represent, as long as you speak from the heart,” she states.

And while we’re on women in hip hop, the B-Girl Be: A Celebration of Women in Hip Hop exhibition and summit starts this month in Minneapolis. “The B-Girl Be event is an all encompassing female inspired Hip-Hop event that touches on all aspects of Hip-Hop, with emphasis on showcasing female graffiti writers and the community issues that we as women involved in Hip-Hop face.” You can get more info here.
