In the case of Heather B. the deal is as authentic as it gets. Take her crew, her production, her flow, the location and her time: flawless. The first years, like from the late 1980s to the mid 90s, Heather B is part of the Brooklyn based pioneering Boogie Down Productions (BDP) crew. As the co-founder and core member of that crew, KRS-One produced a lot of her early titles while Kenny Parker, his brother, was in charge for production of Heather’s first album Takin‘ Mine. Da Beatminerz are prominent in her production, too. And her collaboration with DJ Premier leads quite from the beginning through her second album Eternal Affairs up to today.
Down the road Heather B released more than a dozen of 12 inch singles and a number of music videos that fit perfectly in my imagination of the ‚old school‘ of HipHop. Another one underrated (marketwise) – though well respected (in the game).
