VAN NUYS, California (December 15, 2011) — In an industry saturated with booty shaking females and dudes oozing with street credibility... Enter TONI MONROE, a Cali-bred MC from Van Nuys, armed with the swag of a hustler, the flow of a veteran and a style to make even the most skeptical, take a second look. Her rising success and increasing buzz has placed her in the top three female artists, according to female rap icon Lady of Rage. Toni Monroe has rocked with some of the best, opening up for artists such as, E- 40, Lil Kim, Mobb Deep, Nelly, Ja Rule & Ashanti, Ice Cube, Mack 10, WC, Bone- Thugs-N-Harmony, DJ Quik and Fat Joe.
Although hip hop allowed her to find her voice, it has been a struggle being white and heavy in an industry dominated by black males, and where only a few great female emcees have made their mark. “I have heard it all from, “She’s fat and white!” to “How can we market this?” Toni’s mission is to spark, inspire and motivate change, “The voices of women in hip hop are almost absent these days, minus a few sisters, who the industry are “letting” hold us down... they need help, and we need to make sure they get it. Whether you’re black or white, gay or straight, big or small... she represents for ALL the ladies.
Toni Monroe is currently working on the release of her latest project “Big Girl Cookies | First Batch”, a mixtape dropping January 5th, featuring West Coast Legends, Kurupt and DJ Crazy Toones. This latest masterpiece delivers hard hitting beats with heavy lyrical content that will appeal to both the mainstream hip-hop heads and underground fans alike. With her underground notoriety on lock, she is definitely turning heads for all the right reasons. They say it’s a man’s world, but it’s definitely under Toni Monroe’s supervision.
