Morphology
The meaning 'an informal musical gathering where rappers perform' is directly derivable from combining 'rap' (the musical style) with 'session' (a meeting or scheduled event). This noun+noun compositional pattern (similar to 'jam session') is common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Rap session comes from musicians getting together to rap over a beat; picture friends in a studio taking turns to say quick rhymes and make up new lines. So it now means an informal musical meeting where rappers perform or try out verses.
