A female master of ceremonies or female rapper who serves as a host or performer in hip-hop culture.
A blend of 'female' and 'MC' (master of ceremonies, pronounced 'em-see'). This term emerged in hip-hop culture during the 1980s-1990s as a gender-specific label for women rappers and DJs.
Femcee is a perfect example of how new communities create their own vocabulary—hip-hop culture needed a way to honor and specifically identify women artists, so speakers blended 'female' with the existing 'MC' abbreviation they already used.
