One of the best things I saw at Iceland Airwaves, and last year in general, was the 16 strong female rap group Reykjavíkurdætur (Daughters of Reykjavik) from Iceland.
The girls crowdfunded a debut album with t-shirt extras and all and now, it’s out for all to hear via Spotify.
It’s mostly in Icelandic but one track ‘F*E*M*I*N*I*S*M’ that mentions “16 pussies going loco”. True vagina warriors.
Highlights include ‘Drusla’, ‘Ógeðsleg’ and ‘Fanbois’
