Remy Ma Biography

Reminisce Mackie (stage name Remy Ma) is an American rapper and one of the very few female rappers who have made it big in the American hip hop scene. Rapper Big Pun scouted her out after hearing her rhymes and poetry and asked her to join his rap group ‘Terror Squad’. Remy was signed on by Columbia Records in 2000. Her very first claim to fame came as ‘Ante Up Remix’ by M.O.P and just like that, she arrived on the American hip hop scene with her unique approach to the lyrics in her raps and her vocal skills. Remy’s debut album titled ‘There’s something About Remy: Based on a True Story’ was released in 2006 and the album became a hit immediately earning widespread respect off the singles such as ‘Whateva’ and ‘Conceited’. Just as her career was going towards a dream beginning, a prison sentence came her way and she had to do the six years of jail time out of her 8 year sentence. She was released in 2014 and started collaborating with artists such as DJ Khaled and Rick Ross while working on her next album.
