“Party People,” a collaboration between famous American rapper Nelly and hugely popular singer-songwriter Fergie, is a hip-hop tune that makes you want to start dancing the moment you hear it.

The main verses are driven by Nelly’s powerful rap, with Fergie’s sharp vocals weaving in, creating a thrilling development that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

The flow of the track is also interesting, so you’ll find yourself wanting to listen to it over and over!

AnacondaNicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is a queen of the hip-hop world, beloved for her powerful personality and undeniable talent.

Her songs boldly highlight sexiness without fear, making them perfect anthems for girls’ hip-hop.

The track featured here is Anaconda, from her third studio album The Pinkprint released in 2014, which also became a worldwide hit single.

In 2021, it became the first female solo rap track ever to surpass 1 billion views on YouTube, cementing itself as one of Nicki’s signature songs.

Her evolution from early dance-pop sounds to a hip-hop-centered style only amplified her coolness and sex appeal—something that’s obvious the moment you watch the music video packed with twerking that emphasizes the butt.

According to Nicki, the song is “sexual but playful.” Keeping her vision in mind, let’s enjoy a distinctive, playful girls’ hip-hop dance inspired by this track!

Camila Cabello, born in Cuba and hailing from the United States, is an irresistibly ethnic-flavored dance-pop singer.

Among her many great songs, “Bam Bam,” released in 2022, is an exotically tinged track with a strong hip-hop edge.

The song features Ed Sheeran, known for hits like “Thinking Out Loud” and “Shape of You,” and the interplay between the two is extremely pleasing.

Level UpCiara

The upbeat, high-BPM, danceable track “Level Up” is a hit song released in 2018 by Ciara, a multitalented artist who’s active not only as a musician and dancer but also as a fashion model and actress.

You should definitely check out the music video: the choreography—created in collaboration with world-renowned choreographer Parris Goebel and the all-female dance team ReQuest Dance Crew—is incredibly cool and stylish.

If you’re into dance as a hobby, it’s guaranteed to make you want to get up and move, but even to an untrained eye it’s clear that the song’s rapid tempo demands serious stamina and skill.

Using the MV as a reference, if your own dance team can capture it in the style of girls’ hip-hop, you’ll pretty much steal the show that day.

Since being recognized by Jay-Z and making her album debut at the young age of 17 in 2005, Rihanna has continued to dominate the music scene not only with overwhelming commercial success but also as a superstar beyond the confines of hip-hop.

In 2022, she contributed “Lift Me Up” to the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever—her first new release in a while—which, as you may recall, became a major talking point.

Her landmark debut single, “Pon de Replay,” incorporates dancehall reggae—a sound that now feels fresh again—and highlights her Barbadian roots.

It’s a classic that perfectly covers the essential elements of girls’ hip-hop—sexiness, coolness, and cuteness—so it’s guaranteed to make you want to dance.

As an aside, the powerhouse girl group BLACKPINK referenced “Pon de Replay” in their smash hit “Pink Venom.” In that sense, we’d especially love for younger listeners who started dancing because they admire BLACKPINK to check out “Pon de Replay.”
