Remy Ma

This is Remy's first album released since being charged with attempted murder, and the former Terror Squad emcee proves that she's one of the finest females on the microphone. Her tough baritone swats down syllables that spell out hard hewn stories of material excess and violent outbursts. "I'm from the South Bronx, motherf*ck*r, you heard me?" Remy spits, and her sweet 'n' sour mixture of haute couture and street corner heat personifies the NYC grind.
