There is such a lack of Foxy Brown tunes on Youtube! I couldnt beleave it when i couldnt find this tune and others on here, so i think it's time for some classic's from Foxy! From 1996, the classic NO ONES. Recorded when she was just 16 years old, produced by China Black and sampling The S.O.S. Band's NO ONES GONNA LOVE YOU from 1984.
Rapper Foxy Brown, born Inga Marchandin, 1979, Brooklyn, New York, took her stage name from the sassy title character of the 1974 'Blaxploitation' film starring Pam Grier.
In 1994, while still a teenager, she won a talent contest in Brooklyn, and was invited to freestyle on stage. At that time, Trackmasters were working on LL Cool J's Mr. Smith album, and they decided to let her rap over "I Shot Ya." The single became a hit, prompting Brown's work with Total, Toni Braxton, and Case, as well as her induction into the Firm posse (led by Nas and also including AZ and Cormega).
Before she had released any material at all, Foxy Brown appeared on several 1995-1996 platinum singles, including her first credit, LL Cool J's "I Shot Ya," as well as Total's "No One Else" remix of Jay-Z's "Ain't No Nigga", Toni Braxton's "You're Makin' Me High" remix, and Case's "Touch Me, Tease Me." The incredible success led to a major-label bidding war at the beginning of 1996, and by March, Brown had signed with the Def Jam label as another in the ranks of young and hard female rappers. Brown's supporting rap on Jay-Z's hit "Ain't No Nigga" put her on the map, and her 1996 album Ill Na Na (recorded when she was 16) sold over a million copies. Chyna Doll (1999) featured raps with Jay-Z and DMX and made #1 on the Billboard charts. Brown's in-your-face sexuality and revealing outfits added to her popularity and earned her comparisons with another Brooklyn rapper, Lil Kim. She also and had a cameo role in the 1998 film Woo.
Her music career has taken a back seat to her criminal career since a 2004 arrest for a violent outburst in a beauty salon. After repeatedly violating the terms of her probation in various altercations, she was sentenced in September of 2007 to a year in jail, just two months after releasing her single "We Don't Surrender."
