Foxy Brown Biography

Foxy Brown is an American rapper best known for her debut album, Ill Na Na which was released in 1996and sold over 109,000 copies in the first week, and debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 album charts

While still a teenager, Brown won a talent contest in Brooklyn, New York’s Park Slope neighborhood. That night, members of the Trackmasters production team who were working on Mr. Smith’s LL Cool J album attended and were inspired enough to invite Brown to rap over “I Shot Ya”.

She was an overnight sensation at such a young age, because she was very talented and provocatively rapping. The immediate success resulted in a label bidding war in early 1996, and Def Jam Records won and added the then 17-year-old rapper to their roster in March. She followed this breakthrough with appearances by other artists on many RIAA platinum and gold singles, including remixes of Toni Braxton’s songs “You’re Makin’ Me High.” Brown was also featured on the soundtrack of the 1996 film The Nutty Professor, on the songs “Touch Me Tease Me” by Case, and “Ain’t No Nigga” by Jay-Z.

Her second album, Chyna Doll, was released in 1999, and her third album, Grammy-nominated Shattered Silence, was released in 2001. She has appeared on songs since 2001 but didn’t release any albums. She left Def Jam in 2003 and scrapped the release of her Ill Na Na 2 album, but came back in 2005 once Jay-Z, then president and CEO of the label, signed her again to start work on her new album Black Roses. Her mixtape Brooklyn Don Diva was released in May 2008 and her visual album, King Soon Come, was scheduled for release in 2019, but has been indefinitely delayed.
