Growing up in the streets of Chicago, she has been able to speak the language of the streets with the intelligence of a scholar.

She has an East-Coast tough, innovative style though the West-Coast and over seas consumed majority of her solo EP. She nothing like the average female m,c, reciting rhymes about: designer brands, raunchy sex, and taking a man’s money.

She has proven to be the illest elements in the game. For More Information contact Email:W2PHASE2@GMAIL.COM WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ANG13 (TO LISTEN) WWW.CDBABY.COM/ANG13 (TO BUY) 773-936-8698
