The Rise of Reggaeton Feminista: 10 Artists You Need to Know

For the longest time, reggaeton was a boys’ club — a space full of ego, ass-shaking, and lyrics that rarely centered women unless we were being sung at.

But the tide is turning. Slowly, steadily, reggaeton feminista is making noise — and not just in the background. Women and queer artists are reclaiming the mic, flipping the script, and showing the world that perreo can be powerful, political, and still make your ass move.

What Is Reggaeton Feminista?

It’s not just “reggaeton by women.” It’s a movement. A lyrical rebellion. It’s about owning your pleasure, naming your pain, and creating space for mujeres, marikas, and everyone who’s ever been pushed to the edge of this genre.

These artists aren’t here to be cute. They’re here to shift culture — and they’re doing it beat by beat.

🎤 10 Artists Leading the Movement

1. 1. Karol G
   La Bichota herself. Karol’s evolution from collab queen to headlining feminist icon is unmatched. Songs like Mientras Me Curo del Cora and TQG prove that healing and heartbreak can still chart #1.
2. 2. Villano Antillano
   A trans, non-binary Puerto Rican rapper with bars so sharp they slice through machismo. Villano’s collab with Bizarrap blew up for a reason — they bring fire and truth in every line.
3. 3. Tokischa
   Loud, raw, unapologetic. Tokischa challenges every “good girl” narrative with her queer Dominican dembow and erotic honesty. She’s not for everyone — but she’s for us.
4. 4. Ivy Queen
   La Caballota. The blueprint. She’s been feminist before it was cool. Go listen to Quiero Bailar again and tell me she didn’t lay the foundation for everything we’re seeing now.
5. 5. La Gabi
   One of the genre’s rising poetic voices — blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms with emotional, gut-punch lyrics. She’s experimental, she’s spiritual, and she’s so slept on.
6. 6. Ms Nina
   The Argentina-raised, Spain-based queen of feminist neoperreo. Her music is playful, raunchy, and liberating — reggaeton for the bad girls who also cry in the Uber home.
7. 7. Cazzu
   Trap meets perreo meets emotional truth. Cazzu’s one of the few who can switch between aggressive flows and soft heartbreak mid-track and still make it sound cohesive.
8. 8. Nathy Peluso
   Technically more alt-Latin, but her impact on reggaeton and urbano is undeniable. Nathy’s control of her voice and body makes her a performance powerhouse.
9. 9. iLe
   Puerto Rican, poetic, and fiercely political. iLe mixes bomba, trap, and bolero to call out patriarchy, colonialism, and silence. Her music doesn’t just vibe — it educates.
10. 10. Young Miko
    Puerto Rico’s soft-spoken sapphic rapper. Her flow is chill, but her bars are heavy. She’s reshaping what queer reggaeton looks like — and people are paying attention.
