Continuing with our Women's History Month, an eventual casualty of a mans brief but beautiful light. Tied on the rocket that was MC Hammer, Oaktown 3.5.7 - comprised of backup singers Sweet L.D. Terrible T & Lil P - was purposefully similar sonically to Salt N Pepa. Whilst they had a couple of hits, one of them departing after their debut led to Oaktown 3.5.7 ending just as quickly as they began.

Continuing our WHM celebrations, we take a look at 00s Underground talent Apani B. Fly. Where the mainstream was going one way, Apani & her cohorts in the Polyrhythm Addicts shunned the commodification of Hip-Hop, staying sonically in the 90s whilst producing riveting lyrics.

The 1st woman to put out an album under Def Jam, Nikki D seemingly had one of the biggest labels of her time behind her; with an absurd 10 album deal on deck. So why was only one album released?
