Before playlists, before global charts, before Reggaeton was “acceptable,” women were already shaping the sound, the attitude, and the backbone of the genre. This episode highlights the foundational contributions of La Atrevida, Ivy Queen, Glory Glou, Lorna, and La Sista—artists who laid the groundwork in an industry that rarely made space for them.
We break down how these women pushed Reggaeton forward through lyrics, hooks, performance, and presence—often without protection, proper credit, or long-term industry support. From dancehall roots to mainstream crossover, from sexual agency to lyrical authority, their impact runs deeper than nostalgia or one-hit narratives.
This isn’t a “women’s side note” episode.
It’s a history correction.
Because Reggaeton didn’t just happen around women—it was built with them, and in many cases, because of them.
