Foxy Brown 'Brooklyn Don's Diva' album

Brooklyn's Don Diva is Foxy’s debut album at KOCH Records and the album her long-time fans have been fiending for. It's an incredible collection of gritty street anthems that Foxy's been working on for years now. It's all new. And it's fire.

Despite her recent incarceration, Foxy isn't too concerned. As she states, “This is just a temporary situation. I made my bed and have no problem lying in it. My will is steady. What doesn't kill me will only make me a stronger and better person, by my own doing. I think there are greater injustices in America that require our immediate attention, I will not surrender.”

Foxy Brown needs no introduction, but in case you need to get up to speed, here's a quick snapshot to refresh your memory: Her work on her three solo albums (Ill Na Na, Chyna Doll, and Broken Silence) as well as her membership in the rap supergroup The Firm (members include Nas, AZ, and Nature) helped propel her to superstardom in the world of entertainment.

biography
Before she had released any material at all, Foxy Brown appeared on several 1995-1996 platinum singles, including her first credit, LL Cool J's "I Shot Ya," as well as Total's "No One Else" remix of Jay-Z's "Ain't No...," Toni Braxton's "You're Makin' Me High" remix, and Case's "Touch Me, Tease Me." The incredible success led to a major-label bidding war at the beginning of 1996, and by March, Brown had signed with the Def Jam label as another in the ranks of young and hard female rappers.

The Brooklyn native — separate from a similarly named reggae artist — was born in 1979; in 1994, while still a teenager, she won a talent contest in Brooklyn, and was invited to freestyle on stage. At that time, Trackmasters were working on LL Cool J's Mr. Smith album, and they decided to let her rap over "I Shot Ya." The single became a hit, prompting Brown's work with Total, Braxton, and Case, as well as her induction into the Firm posse (led by Nas and also including AZ and Cormega). Brown's debut album, Ill Na Na, was produced by Trackmasters, and featured appearances from Blackstreet, Method Man, and Kid Capri. It hit number seven its first week on the album charts. China Doll followed in early 1999 and the provacativity continued on 2001's Broken Silence.
