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, Rovi
