I happened across some tracks from her 'Thia Week' album and was amazed. Bought the album an am glad to say my South African sister has the illest lyrics I've heard all year. I'm glad she's finally getting her props.

[Juma4]

Maybe its old news but I read somewhere that she was asked to be a member of the Roots... that would make an interesting show.
