Civilized Talk: Jean Grae
Shayna D from Sirius Radio has something going here. Her “Diva Lounge” event is something that could potentially go on for years. The purpose of the event is to bring women who are making moves in the business world to connect and network. At their most recent meeting held last week at Honey Lounge in NYC, Jean Grae was honored for her accomplishments in the field of Hip-Hop and a pioneer and trailblazer for female MC’s.
The talented lyricist was gracious enough to be the next installment in our “Civilized Talk” series. Grae spoke her mind on:
- The femcee landscape as a whole
- The Nicki Minaj/Lil Kim fiasco
- Where she sees female MC’s heading in the future.
As a FYI, look for Jean to be performing alongside Talib Kweli this Sunday at Brooklyn Bowl. Her new album Cake Or Death is on the way and be sure to keep up with her on Twitter and her personal blog.
