In the ever-growing army of hip-hop stars, Eve is one of the few female rappers who has managed to match the respect and success of her male colleagues. Eve (formerly Eve Of Destruction) is a strong woman, who admittedly does not mince words, but also does not need an exaggerated mess to hold her own against the verbal violence. Her debut album Scorpion (2001) was an unexpected success, partly due
… to the strong singles Who's That Girl and Let Me Blow Ya Mind. On Eve's second album Eve-olution we hear the now famous mix of 'streetwise raps' and poppy choruses. This time she got vocal help from r & b divas Alicia Keys (on Gangsta Lovin ') and Truth Hurts (on What), while Snoop and Nate Dogg have a game on Hey Y'All. Production-wise nothing has been left to chance either. Behind the buttons were top producers such as Dr. Dre, Teflon and Irv Gotti, which means that all the conditions for a new million seller have been met. (MS)more
