Remy Ma is putting in work to create a space for artists in an area that the music industry is lacking in, with the official establishing of an all female rap battle league!

According to Vibe Magazine the league is named “Chrome 23” Their very first event is schedule for the top of next year on February 12th. Amongst the list of participants are 40 B.A.R.R.S, Ms. Hustle and Jaz the Rapper. Fellow artists will be set in place to battle one another.

In an interview with OTFMZ Battle Rap Media, Remy explained the importance and value of creating a specific platform for women within the battle rap industry, “I just want all the women that have ever put their blood sweat and tears into this, [and] that’s been doing this for years to get a chance to really make some decent money.”

She continues by speaking on her motivation behind it all and calls out any naysayers. “Anyone that has anything negative to say or that feels like I’m trying to take somebody’s place or feels like I’m trying to step on somebody’s toes, y’all are more than welcome to donate to the cause.”

”It’s costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it out of my pocket and out of the favors that I’m calling in, so you’re welcome to come in and assist. I’m not doing this because of me. I’m not trying to be cocky or nothing. I’m rich, I really am.”

The Bronx, New York native reveals that men will be included in her new endeavor. “Every dude that I’ve spoken to has been one hundred and fifty percent like yeah, ‘They should be getting what we’re getting,” she said. “It’s a female league but, ya know…the guys could come over. We’ll let them come over sometimes.”
