SATURDAY NIGHT BLOWOUT PARTY starring FELONI! - Paramount While most female rappers who enter the rap game tend to use, or need, a major male rapper's voice to help them establish a name, with the odds against her, Feloni literally walked into the hip-hop game as an unknown, and established her own name. Via word of mouth, she is considered one of the most "controversial" female rappers in hip-hop today. Her style of music flipped the script on male posturing, changing the politics of the game by changing the subject of domination, and the object of control. She was also featured on her own episode of MTV's Logo, "Coming Out Stories."
