Jacki-O to release Griselda Blanco

Artist/author, Jacki-O, is back with the new street album “Griselda Blanco”. The 1st single off the mixtape ‘How You Been’, has been serviced to urban radio and mix shows nationally. Jacki-O debuted in 2003 with the controversial rap song ‘Nookie’, which garnered the southern MC comparisons to veteran rapper Lil Kim. It was just last year she released the street album “Lil Red Riding Hood” which was distributed through her own imprint Jackmove Entertainment. Griselda Blanco will be released through myspace, facebook fan pages, and other hip-hop sites.

“Despite her infamous background Griselda was in a game controlled and dominated by men but she was just as big and bad as they were, she did not play [laughs Jacki-O]”. When asked why she named the mixtape Griselda Jacki-O delivered an interesting answer. “Being a female in this industry you got to be a fighter to get your respect, and show people that females work just as hard as the guys do, if not harder. I am not condoning her lifestyle but I can’t knock her either, because I’m from the streets of Miami and life was no crystal stair for us. There were days we didn’t know where our next meal would come from, and sometimes those types of situations can tempt you to get into the street life”

When asked about her thoughts on female rappers that have someone penning their lyrics, Jacki delivered this in response.” I don’t feel any way about it because some men don’t write their own lyrics either,” she explains before dismissing those that choose to let another pen their rhymes – male or female. “It’s like a horn that has no sound. What is it for? If you are an artist, you should be able to express yourself. People want to know how you feel. It’s like a painter that can’t paint – they aren’t a painter. That’s crazy to me. ” Currently in the works is the street album Ms. Pacman Money Hungry, Relentless the album/book until these projects are released fans can download the recently released mixtapes Jack Da Ripper, Free Agent, and B.B.B.P (Bad Bitches Bang Pink).
