Groundbreaking Musicians Inducted into National Recording Registry.

Queen Latifah has become the first female rapper to have her work included in the National Recording Registry, with her debut album "All Hail the Queen" being recognized for its ability to cross genres and open opportunities for other female rappers. The registry aims to preserve music that reflects the nation's diverse culture. Latifah has recently received praise for her music legacy, including a bouquet of red roses from Usher during one of his Las Vegas residency shows.
