Mini biography :
Dana Owens, 18 March 1970, East Orange, New Jersey, USA. Rap's first
lady, Queen Latifah, broke through in the late 80s with a style that
picked selectively from jazz and soul traditions. The former Burger
King employee maintained her early commitment to answer the misognyist
armoury of her male counterparts, and at the same time impart musical
good times to all genders. After working as the human beatbox alongside
famale rapping crew Ladies Fresh, she was just 18 years old when she
released her debut single, 'Wrath Of My Madness', in 1988. A year
later her debut long-player enjoyed fevered reviews: an old, wise
head was evident on the top of her young shoulders Her name means
'delicate and sensitive' in Arabic, but she has often been anything
but in her rapping rhythms and the messages she sends out through
them. The most prominent female rap artist on the scene for close
to a decade, Queen Latifah has also made tremendous inroads in both
movies and television. A role model who takes the responsibility to
heart, Latifah carefully constructed a fine career for herself - one
which is constantly moving upward. The lady behind the moniker is
Dana Owens. Owens was born on March 18th, 1970 in Newark, New Jersey.
She comes from a police family (both her father and older brother
were cops), which would later influence her rapping style and life
philosophy. Owens witnessed both sides of black urban life growing
up. After a brief stint as a Burger King employee, the young 18 year-old
soon found herself making waves in the rap music scene.
