Jean Grae (real name Tsidi Ibrahim), born November 26, 1976, is a Hip-Hop
artist from New York. She has rose to prominence in NY underground scene
and has an international fanbase. She is known for her skilled rapping
technique is regarded as one of the best female MCs.
Born in Cape Town South Africa, the daughter of South African jazz musicians
(her father and mother are the celebrated musicians Sathima Bea Benjamin
and Abdullah Ibrahim), she studied Vocal Performance at the LaGuardia
School of Music & Art before majoring in Music
Business at New York University.
Previously signed to Babygrande Records, she signed a deal in 2005 with
Talib Kweli’s Blacksmith Records. On 28 April 2008, Jean Grae posted a blog
on her MySpace page saying goodbye to her fans. She later cited disenchantment
with the music industry and desire to start a family as the reasons behind the
‘retirement’ and said that she was working on new material and still wanted
to continue in music: “You know what? I need that Grammy. I think I might
be able to stop after that”. In July 2008, Talib Kweli posted a blog
explaining Grae’s album, mentioning that she was not retiring. The
blog ends encouraging fans to purchase the album, referring to Grae
as “one of the last true MCs left.” Grae returned to doing
live performances later that year.
On September 18, 2008, Jean Grae posted a Craigslist ad offering her
creative services for $800/16 bars. On her MySpace blog entry, she states,
“I don’t wanna complain anymore, I just wanna change some things about
the way artists are treated and the way you guys are allowed
to be involved, since it IS the digital age.
On June 23rd 2011, after an almost 4 year hiatus, Jean released a
free mixtape titled, Cookies or Comas, which features guest appearances
from Styles P, Talib Kweli and Pharoahe Monch, it also includes the
highly praised track, Assassins, from Monch’s W.A.R. album.
