You could do some deep digging on this one if you really like her. She's a dope emcee, easily in the conversation of best female emcee ever.
She started out as part of an underground hip hop group called Natural Resource, her OG name is What What. Check out their We LOve This World album for pure 90s indie dopeness.

Her album with 9th Wonder was so anticipated that some cunt leaked the entire project before it was released and the album was pulled officially for years. Dig deep on this one, she has some kind of resume
