About Me:
With the success of highly creative artists such as Kanye West, Andre 3000, Q-Tip, Mos Def, and The Roots, the door has opened ever so slightly to allow True Emcees to squeeze in and make their mark. Pushing through the male-dominated world of Hip Hop comes just what youve been waiting for and missing, Lin Que.
This Queens New York native takes it back to the original feel and grit of True Hip Hop with an up to date twist, on the rocks, that you can knock back for your pleasure. You might remember her as Isis when she was down with the messenger group X Clan and The Blackwatch Movement. There was no question as to how she ended up with the nickname Lady of Thunder. Her powerful yet graceful technique was both moving and inspiring. Blackwatch played an essential role in guiding and molding the young minds of the Hip Hop community.
As she progressed further in her career, she teamed up with MC Lyte and Pam Wilder and opened up a management and production company called Duke Da Moon. She was then able to help others make their dreams a reality. She understood the importance of marketing and promotion and was able to pass on that knowledge to the various artists they had on their roster. Duke Da Moon would also act as a vehicle for Lin Que to get her music back in the ears of her listeners. She was then signed to Ruffhouse Columbia and shared a roster with artists such as The Fugees, Nas, and Cypress Hills. The underground loved what they were hearing. This Is It and Rip It Up was just a small taste of what she was capable of and would lead to her moving from Sony Music into her next major record deal with Elecktra Records. This is where and when she dropped the classic Let it Fall. This track featured MC Lyte and was produced by Caspa. The video was directed by Hype Williams and is considered a classic underground portrayal of the last days of true Hip Hop. The fiends kept their eyes on her just waiting to get more acquainted with this multidimensional lyricist.
Although there is so much that Lin aspires to do, she has already passed several landmarks in her career that many would be considered lucky to have obtained. She has collaborated with various artists such as Will Downing, Mary J. Blige, Afrika Bambaataa, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Joi Cardwell, Steele/Smif-N-Wessun, The Beatnuts, Monifah, Ce Ce Peniston and more. Her last venture was a brief encounter with the Protect Your Neck group, The Five Deadly Venoms. They were nicknamed The Female Wu-Tang. After leaving the group for business reasons, she remained writing and creating music with producers such as .0 (Point Zero), Azteknique and Ayatollah. Lins uncanny ability to write blazing lyrics landed her a writing gig with MC Lyte on her Aint No Other album. While rap music was in the mist of transforming, Lin started to dabble with music production. She has produced many tracks in her arsenal.
Check out the first single GODspeed off of her new album which happens to go by the same name. Those music lovers who have been waiting for some real substance can now take a seat at the table and feel secured that they will be satisfyingly fed. Her no-nonsense lyrical delivery sets the foundation for this long awaited album.
In addition to the many tracks that will keep any True Hip Hopper happy, she captivates the listeners with her take on the state of Hip Hop. The track titled Hip Hop Holy War speaks for itself Its the True Emcees vs. The Rappers. Let Um Know explains her journey through the music industry while simultaneously elaborating on her inner voyage regarding her loyalty to the Hip Hop artform.. GODspeed reeks of her obvious Love for Hip Hop and her courageous attempt to save it's culture. Someone has got to do it. We can no longer be mere spectators and onlookers neglectfully watching a very important part of our community loose its mind.
Her music, while still preserving its marketable appeal, portrays her struggle being a strong female in a male-dominated industry which seems to rather depict woman as scantily dressed video vixens. Lin Que is a breath of fresh air and has a lot to offer the Hip Hop Community. It would be nice to add a female to the roster to help relieve the growing desire for something REAL.
Fan, for real, before I had my first deal, Love of the art form, respect for the field, Im bringing back to life what this industry kills, True Emcee's, the Certified Artist with skills...

Sometimes things happen for a reason. They would have watered you down eventually...you know the "industry" ain't the nicest place to exist if it's about keepin' it real. Example: Common. End of story...haha!
