Biography

Introduced via hip-hop producer Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor's compilation disc Hurby's Machine, self-styled "gangstress of rap" and Queens-native Antoinette matured from essentially just a tough-talking mama into a more unpredictable, sometimes fresh, sometimes alluring, and sometimes defiant rapper whose musical surroundings are equally divided among funk, go-go, hip-house, and hardcore sampler and production snippets. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Antoinette was an American rapper from Queens, New York who released two albums, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. She made her first appearance on producer Hurby Azor's 1987 compilation album, Hurby's Machine,[3] with her song "I Got An Attitude", in which she dissed fellow rapper MC Lyte.[citation needed] This led to a beef between the two rappers. Antoinette's musical output was equally divided between funk, go-go, and hip-house. She has been mentioned in the Vibe Hip-Hop Divas publication.[4]
