Despite this, the City of Brotherly Love has continued to churn  out some of the most innovative hip-hop artists of the current  generation. Perhaps one of the most unique aspects to the scene is the  abundance of powerful female voices that it has produced as artists,  promoters and writers. This film seeks to tell the story of these women\u2014the legends,  the famed, and the ing\u00e9nues\u2014as they struggle to succeed in a  male-dominated industry in a city that has been left behind in the  national consciousness. <em>Scene Not Heard<\/em> features interviews with some of the originators of  hip-hop such as Lady B, Schoolly D, Monie Love and Rennie Harris, with  vanguards chiming in including Bahamadia and Ursula Rucker, and presents  current talents such as the Jazzyfatnastees, Ms. Jade, and Lady Alma,  and emerging talents such as Versus, Keen of Subliminal Orphans and  Michele Byrd-McPhee of Mont\u00e4zh, as well as scholars, critics and local  promoters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUESDAY AUGUST 3, 2010 \u2013 INTERNATIONAL HOUSE<\/p>\n<p>One of the most unique aspects to the Philadelphia hip hop scene is the proliferation of women that it has produced as emcees, vocalists, poets and deejays.
