It’s officially Gemini season! Born between May 21st and June 20th, Gemini’s are known for being fearless, loyal, creative, and extroverted. From 2Pac to Kodak Black to Jadakiss, many talented rappers have been born under the twins sign. Geminis are often two-sided, express their emotions externally, and excel at anything that lets them communicate freely—perhaps that’s why there are so many great Gemini rappers.
To look at how many great rap Geminis there are, we put together a list of 25 Gemini Rappers (in order of their birthdays).
The Notorious B.I.G – May 21
On “Juicy,” the first single from B.I.G’s debut album Ready To Die, hip-hop’s most notorious Gemini raps, “Birthdays was the worst days/Now we sip champagne when we thirsty.” Biggie’s bars reflect on the duality between the modest Gemini birthday celebrations of his youth compared to the luxury he experienced later in life.
Heavy D – May 24

Dave – June 5
Expressive, smart, and enchanting in his lyrics, U.K rap sensation Dave brings his Gemini traits into his work in the best way.

Ice Cube – June 15
Although Ice Cube never explicitly talks about his star sign in his music, the ex-N.W.A rapper’s personality is undeniably Gemini. Ice’s public persona is split between two distinct sides; playful and comedic, like his appearances on TV and film, and unapologetically gangster, like we hear in his actual music (especially his early work). Back in 2018, Cube actually tweeted about being a Gemini writing, “Only the chosen few really understand our nature.”
2Pac – June 16
One of rap’s most influential Gemini’s, 2Pac was well in tune with his zodiac’s attributes. On songs like “Unconditional Love,” listener’s hear Pac’s softer, more introspective side.

Kendrick Lamar – June 17
