Here at Slick n Fresh, we hear a lot of talk about "the next best MC". Although it is always important to look towards the future, it is just as important not to forget about the MCs that have helped create and push the scene to make it what it is today.

Having carved out her own musical path on her first Mixtape Split Endz Vol. 1 and list of musical collaborations that include Sway, Wiley, Plan B, Duncan Powell and Pro Green, one would wonder why we haven’t heard more about her.
