The self-proclaimed "Queen of the West Coast" says it's a good time to be a female in Latin hip hop: "I have a pretty good chance right now to represent, I just got to keep grinding." The grind began nearly a decade ago, when the Whittier-born, San Bernardino-bred Diamonique began channeling her love of 2Pac, Lauryn Hill and R&B singer Teena Marie into rapping and singing.
Diamonique now rolls with a "who's who" of Chicano rap – Mr. Capone-E, Down, Frost, Lil Rob – but you'll be hard pressed to find breezy oldies backdrops or chipmunk vocal samples on her 2004 debut, Diamond in the Ruff. Pounding tracks like Boom B... All of Diamonique's Biography >> |
