Roxanne Shanté

Hip-hop pioneer Roxanne Shanté has earned a well-deserved milestone in her career, becoming the first solo female rapper to receive the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Shanté’s legacy in the hip-hop world is profound. Born Lolita Shanté Gooden in Queens, New York, she burst onto the scene at just 14 years old with her groundbreaking track Roxanne’s Revenge. The song, a response to the UTFO hit Roxanne, Roxanne, ignited the infamous “Roxanne Wars,” solidifying her as a trailblazer in a male-dominated genre.
