The Boss Is On Fire

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This second cd from the gangstress of rap really showed some growth and maturity from her first release "Who's The Boss".

This MC has been praised as the female Rakim and she more than

lives up to the hype. Not only does she shine vocally, but the

album gives you a nice blend of hip-hop/r&b/house/and new jack

swing. She got help from Spinderella and Pepa of Salt N Pepa on the first single "Never Get Enough", she brings the message of

self worth to the fore on the new jack anthem "I wanna Be Me",

and if you need some motivation via a hip hop track then the

Mantronik produced "Take It From The Top" will do justice.

Another highlight of the cd is the medley "Who Gives The Orders/

If the price is right" The first being a diss to her then opponent on the mic, (MC LYTE), while the later is an infectious

groove lifted from Sade's "Paradise" that has a positive vibe and

rhymes cooler than an evening breeze in indian summer. Definately a good purchase for old school hip hop lovers."
