Rap Activist Sister Souljah is back on the scene. If you may recall Souljah stirred things up a few years back with President Clinton who had the nerve to publicly criticize her and refer to her as a gangsta rapper. She was once a member of Public Enemy and kinda set things off with a song she and Chuck D did on Terminator X's album entitled 'Buck Whylin'. This was the cut where she yells out at the beginning 'We Are At War!'. Nowadays Souljah has been wrecking shop behind the scenes with her work with Puff Daddy. She runs his very successful Daddy's House program which helps out inner city youth. Now Souljah is about to step into the public eye again as she has just released her second book. Entitled The Coldest Winter Ever, this is a fictional story about a young woman who grows up in Brooklyn and is treated like a Mafia princess by her daddy who is a drug lord.. The book chronicles this woman's life and times as she moves from the projects and out into the suburbs. Souljah's first book 'No Disrespect' was her autobiography. Finally there is talk that Souljah may soon drop another album with the help of Sean Puffy Combs that should be an interesting combination. Hopefully these upcoming projects will thrust Souljah back into the spotlight and grant her some proper respects. I've always felt that for a woman as sharp and as insightful as she is.. she has never really gotten her props. Perhaps she's too powerful.... |
