Videos by According2HipHop

Roxanne Shante was one of the first female emcees to gain notoriety on the mic. What made Shante different was she came to BATTLE. At such a young age Roxanne Shante hit the rap scene and was making a name for herself at a time where not many female emcees were picking up the mic. 

The biopic was filmed back in 2016, and premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival , stars Shanté Adams as the New York City native and features roles from Nia Long and Mahershala Ali.

Netflix post this about the film “Life is a battle. In the early 1980s, the most feared battle MC in Queens, New York, was a fierce teenage girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders. At the age of 14, Lolita “Roxanne Shante” Gooden was well on her way to becoming a Hip-Hop legend as she hustled to provide for her family while defending herself from the dangers of the streets. Get ready for ROXANNE ROXANNE, a new Netflix Original Film from the producers of “Fruitvale Station” and “Dope”, written/directed by Michael Larnell and starring Mahershala Ali, Nia Long and introducing Chanté Adams. Streaming only on Netflix March 23rd.”
