These ladies are honestly quite hard to miss. Horrorcore genre, as a whole, deals with a wide spectrum of topics and beliefs when it comes to both music and style. These rappers are practically the opposite of the best nerdcore rappers! Overall, they share in one common message: gruesome violence. It may sound almost like a bad thing, but perhaps it depends on who is examining the music itself. You see, horror fused with hip-hop is the essential background of this subgenre, but there's of course much more that goes into it.

Horrorcore first identified itself in a mesh of gangsta rap with that of hardcore hip-hop. In essence, if you take a few gothic novels and stories, made them more gruesome, and wrote it into a rap song, you'd get what might sound like horrorcore. Mars, a horrorcore rapper himself, calls the genre something dark and literate: "If you take Stephen King or Wes Craven and you throw them on a rap beat, that's who I am." You'd need only the best female horrorcore rappers to truly bring its message out like never before. These ladies may not be well-known in the underground female rapper sphere, but that doesn't make them any less worth listening to. That's why I've provided a list of them, so we can not only break this lyrically-filled genre apart but to also find out who's best in the game right now (and if there even is a "best").

She's probably most well-known, or otherwise most listened to in terms of the best female horrorcore rappers. Don't take this the wrong way, though, Razakel sure can spit on a beat and her gender makes no difference. She's a fearsome individual, "No Muzzle" proving this without a doubt.

If you want to hear more, try both "Watch Out" and "Bite Me." She's got one of the most daring personalities in the game right now and doesn't hesitate for one second to be herself (which shows through in her music), a quality each and every horrorcore rapper should strive to achieve.

Before even reading, go listen to "Broken." Head pounding may not even be the best way to describe her, but still, it's no real contest when it comes to Blahzay. She is, of course, one of the best female horrorcore rappers for delivering this subtle message of self-loathing.

While not all songs discuss such dark and demeaning traits, Blahzay still has some of the best beats in the game of horrorcore. Member of the Psychotic Family, or the Insane Clown Posse, Roze needs not explain herself. The music does all the talking for her.

I, for one, am not a huge fan of capital letters when it comes to artist names, but ZIGG ZAGG (unlike Riff Raff) is a far more compelling artist than first meets the eye. Her talent comes not only in the form of well-versed lyrical content but also in the way she delivers those hard-pounding melodies. Talk about a true ode to hip-hop.

If you want a taste, try listening to "Suicidal" off her Through the Eyes of She album. There's no wonder she's one of the best female horrorcore rappers on the dial right now.

Eccentric may not be the best way to describe her (nor would you realistically want her to hear you say that). No, ill e. gal is far more imaginative than just eccentric, and her music is only half of the game she's playing.

To catch a glimpse of why I'm attributing her among the best female horrorcore rappers, go listen to "Swing Ya Hair." With a name bordering close to the term "illegal," I think it's safe to say we've found a match made in heaven... or, should it be hell?

Just looking at Phatty L, or hearing her name, you'll immediately consider her among the best female horrorcore rappers because she does it the right way. Her own individual brand of this subgenre takes roots in old hip-hop origins and then coincides with some of the best lyrical content that the horrorcore realm can provide.

Phatty L makes poignant notes of both society and our culture in ways we may not normally understand. For instance, "Don't Fu[n]K Up Our Beats" is a direct message to newcomers in the hip-hop genre that make beats and music only for the wider audiences, and don't look at themselves as true to the game.

She's one of the best female horrorcore rappers, despite being a part of Suicidal Rap Orgy. Her "Mangina Theme," also known as "Butchers Harem," makes for a truly spectacular addition to the genre by elevating the listener to her level. She's not just frightening, she's also extremely interesting.

MC Mangina might not be one of the easiest to listen to, but that's what horrorcore is all about. She represents the dark, underground feel of the livelihood and takes it by storm.

I know, it's a name that's frightening in and of itself. Once you dive deep into this artist's best songs, like "Not Enough," or "Juggalette Pageant," you'll only be able to scratch the surface of your true addition to the genre.

While she may not be as popular as others, or even as appreciated, Miss Cyainide simply belongs with the best female horrorcore rappers. Her own VICE news article alone should be reason enough, but check out some of her frightening tunes before you make a decision yourself.

Far more underground and less known than others, Lyssa Cer still reaches the top among the best female horrorcore rappers. It's not just her style or her "act" as you might call it, Lyssa Cer almost comes off as a horrorcore rebel.

You can find most of her music on Facebook and her Twitter is always raving with the best news and discussions on her music. Listen to her song "Dollhouse," which actually features Razakel, another must-hear horrorcore artist.

"Pilgrims by the Millions" is a true horrorcore single that takes your breath away when watching the music video. This is the sound and amazing tunes made by the likes of The Buttress. Odd as that name may sound, they're among the best female horrorcore rappers to date.

Another terrific single by them is "Coffin." Their underground hip-hop beats fused with that dark and enchanting goth of true horror is what makes this genre, and their brand of it, so catchy.

With a song like "Ridiculous," you think she may get to see her own picture, but that's what makes Realistikk so integral to horrorcore: she isn't afraid to blow up the game when she needs to. She's more of a social media pop star than one of the best horrorcore rappers, but that shouldn't lower her ability to kill the mic when need be.

She may not be for everyone, so don't worry if she's just not in your taste. What makes Realistikk so well-fitting for the horrorcore genre is her ability to be both frightening and human at the same time.
