Foxy Brown (born Inga Marchand on September 6, 1979 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American rapper of Trinidadian descent known for her solo work as well as numerous collaborations and a brief stint as part of hip-hop supergroup The Firm.
A 16-year-old Brown first appeared as the "featured" guest on the singles "I Shot Ya" (LL Cool J), "You're Makin' Me High" remix (Toni Braxton), and "Ain't No..." (Jay-Z), all in 1996. With several hit singles, a bidding war ensued in 1996 and Brown signed to Def Jam. She soon joined The Firm with Cormega, AZ and Nas before releasing her solo 1996 debut, Il Na Na, to mixed reviews but strong sales.
Despite some positive reviews, Ill Na Na was heavily criticized by many for containing lyrics that were more explicit than anything anyone so young (Brown was 16 when the album was produced), especially a girl, had ever recorded before. Fellow raunchy female rapper and Brooklyn native, Lil' Kim, also appeared on the music scene around the same time and the media immediately created a rivalry between Brown and Kim.
The Firm having disbanded due to lackluster sales, Brown proceeded to focus on her own album; that same year, Ill Na Na spawned the hit singles, "I'll Be" (featuring Jay-Z) and "Get Me Home" (featuring Blackstreet). Later that year, Brown and Dru Hill released a single off of the Def Jam's How to Be a Player soundtrack, "Big Bad Mama".
Brown's next two albums sold respectably, but progressively less. 1999's Chyna Doll which made chart history when it became the first album by a female rap artist to enter the Billboard 200 Album chart at #1, and it produced the hit single and sexy music video "Hot Spot".
"Oh Yeah", which featured Jamaican artist Spragga Benz (Brown would eventually marry him), marked Brown's debut in the reggae/dancehall genre of music. "BK Anthem" was grittier and more underground than any of Brown's singles before or since and gave "props" to her hometown, Brooklyn, and other famous rappers such as Biggie and Jay-Z who also originated from Brooklyn.
In 2005, Brown returned once again with a new single. Her first studio album since Broken Silence, Black Roses, comes out Tuesday, August 23.
Brown has tried to make amends with her rival, Lil' Kim, but has cited that immaturity on Kim's part has prevented the two from setting aside their differences.
