Foxy Brown

(born Inga Marchand on September 6, 1979 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American rapper of Afro-Trinidadian and Indo-Trinidadian descent known for her solo work as well as numerous collaborations and a brief stint as part of hip-hop supergroup The Firm, while following footsteps of Brooklyn native Lil' Kim. She has released three albums: Ill Na Na (1996), Chyna Doll (1999), and Broken Silence (2001) while also being featured on Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, and Nature Present The Firm: The Album (1997). After a bitter split with her record label Def Jam in 2003, Brown ended up in label limbo. In 2004 childhood friend and collaborator Jay-Z signed Brown to Def Jam and his Roc-A-Fella Records label, when he became the president of the company.

In 2005, while in the midst of recording her fifth studio album (her fourth, Ill Na Na 2: The Fever, was shelved in 2003) Black Roses, Brown faced another hardship when she was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. The hearing impairment took 100% of Brown's hearing, but 20% was restored after an operation to repair it. A later operation restored 100% of her hearing. Brown also landed in legal trouble when two manicurists who alleged that she assaulted them during a 2004 altercation pressed criminal charges against her.
