Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Philadelphia MC delivered a remarkably smooth, highly intellectual debut firmly rooted in the golden era of East Coast boom-bap. Supported heavily by pristine, jazz-inflected production from DJ Premier and Da Beatminerz, her uniquely monotone, impeccably precise vocal delivery completely anchors the record. The highly respected project solidified her as one of the most technically gifted and uncompromising female lyricists in 1990s underground hip-hop.
