Hi. Larious.

For those of you that got the Married to the Hustle Mixtape, you know that I used Anjelah Johnson on my "Sco Nails" intro with her ah-mazing rendition of the Vietnamese nail lady. Well, here she is again as Bon Qui Qui - kudos to this funny lady!!! (Let's get on a track, Bon Qui Qui!)

What Exactly IS a "MRSHMLO"?

Since my first single dropped, people have been asking me "What is a MRSHMLO, and why have you never been one?" Of course, if you can guesstimate what it means to be a MRSHMLO, it means to be soft, cute, fluffy, and not as dangerous as the big guy in the flick above. When my producer 6Fingers sent the beat over to me, it resonated with me for a couple of reasons a.) because of E-40 and his amazing slanguage b.) the beat was so knockin' c.) it was a great "radio" and "crossover" first single d.) because FRISCO _____ ain't no punks!

But actually, it came from an incident where a producer friend of mine, one who had never really heard my music, went through his catalog of beats for my album and proceeded to give me all of the "softest beats" he had. Uh ok. It took a lot for me to bite my tongue and not ream him for his ignorance about "female MCs" and my taste in music, but it's probably a misconception that many people have: that as a woman, we're going to gravitate towards softer, R&B-friendly hits. The truth is, male or female, good music is good music, so if you don't have range in your beats for any MC, then that probably means you're not that skilled a producer.

We haven't forgotten about you...

Mirinae slammed into the Philippines' main island, Luzon, killing 16 on October 31, 2009 dumping heavy rain and bringing strong winds just weeks after two other major storms left about 1,100 dead and tens of thousands homeless.
