Rah Digga Bio
As the female member of hip-hop's Flipmode Squad (which also
counts Busta Rhymes, Rampage, and Lord Have Mercy among its ranks), Rah
Digga is one of rap's most prominent women MCs. Though her rapping is
hard-hitting, Digga's background is surprisingly stable. Born in New
Jersey, she attended a private school in Maryland and studied
electrical engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. She
started rapping with Twice the Flavor and was the only woman in
Jersey's Da Outsidaz clique. When A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip
discovered her at a performance at New York's Lyricist Lounge, he
introduced her to Busta Rhymes, who invited her to join the Flipmode
Squad. As a part of that hip-hop clique, she appeared on Rhymes' 1997
album When Disaster Strikes and the Flipmode Squad's The Imperial Album
from 1998. She also appeared on the Fugees' "Cowboys" and dueted with
Bahamadia on "Be Ok" from Lyricist Lounge, Vol. 1. Her full-length solo
debut, Dirty Harriet, arrived in 2000 and featured cameos from Rhymes
and the Ruff Ryders' Eve. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
