MEXICO CITY - May 11, 2022 - Dominican rapper Tokischa films a video for her new song with Natanael Cano. (Lisette Poole / For The Times) A feature on Tokischa, the raunchy, feminist Dominican rapper?

She's been blowing up lately - she's all about centering female pleasure in these traditionally misogynistic dembow and reggaeton spaces - and seems like a blast to hang with and write about.
