People are not going to believe this.’ And I was just like, ‘Believe what? We are two artists,'” she says.
“One of my old A&Rs, who is not with us anymore, called me years later and just apologized to me and said, ‘I wish I would’ve listened to you a bit more. I just want to apologize to you that I didn’t.’ And it actually helped me,” she shares. “One thing I’m really happy about is how many women you see on the landscape as opposed to when I was out. I am happy about that because I always felt like there was definitely not enough balance voice-wise between men and women.”As she gears up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her debut album, “Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady,” the Philadelphia native teases that fans can expect some new tracks on the way to mark the occasion.
