jean noodles grae
September 10, 2007
hi, do we remember jean grae? when i was listening to her she was on thirdearth, now she’s with talib kweli’s blacksmith records(warner bros.), reppin’ okayplayer.. when i was in TEC back in ’02/’03, ms. grae was one of my idols. yknow, fella femcee.. she’s got a creamy flava, her voice alto-esque & smooth.. think a light modern mc lyte. she’s no bullshit lyricist, & her beats are on point.. please aquaint yourself with this fly female emcee, or you need to recognize.
a brief biography about tsidi ibrahim aka jean grae: she was born in capetown, south africa from a family of musicians. studied vocal performance in the highschool of performing arts, then majored in music business at nyu.. joined natural resource in ’96.. after nat res dissolved in 98, she changed her name from ibrahim, to what?what?, to jean grae. in ’02, she released her first lp attack of the attacking things.. throughout her career she has also recorded tracks with numerous major hip hop artists, atmosphere, the roots, talib kweli, the herbaliser, da beatminerz, planet asia, dj jazzy jeff, phonte, mr. len, masta ace, vordul mega, c-rayz walz, and immortal technique among them.
i don’t know what made me think of her.. either way, appreciate.
