Oakland emcee RyanNicole is different from the average rapper. No, it’s not just because she’s a female in a male dominated genre. College educated and a poet first, RyanNicole raps for all the right reasons – to try to get her message across to her peers in the dopest way possible. Em Dub caught up with RyanNicole in Oakland and talked with her about her name, how she got into hip-hop and how she eventually started rapping, her mixtape Dis’onance, what’s in store, and more. She also blazed 2 fire acapellas for the camera.
