Hip Hop and MCing is primarily associated with aggressive, masculine male figures such as groups Run-DMC, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, N.W.A. However, since Hip Hop's emergence, women have been hugely involved both behind the scenes and in the forefront. One of the first female hip hop groups known for their highly skilled and proficient performances was named Mercedes Ladies. Having formed in the Bronx around the 1970's, this all-female group realized that independence, confidence, observation and excitement was what was going to help propel their career forward.
