GIRL 7: KELIS

Trendsetter, Innovator, Savvy, Grandiose, Idiosyncratic.

Harlem bred Singer/Songwriter,  Collaborator, Chef and Mother.

She made it dope to be her. No apologies. I first fell in  love with Kelis in 1999 when she strutted on to the screen with that Chaka Khan-esque flavour telling ODB that she had his money. That afro!!!! Yassssss hunty!!!! She was sissying that walk. From then she has been beating to her own drum in an industry full of clones and catch ups. A one woman band.

Kelis, you are a Girl 7. Welcome to the 7485 alumni!!
