EBoNy EyEZ` "7 DaY CyCLe"...

Ebony Eyez is one of the first (if not the first) female emcees to rep St. Louis, MO -- making her debut on "Show Your Ass", a track from J-Kwon`s 2004 album "Hood Hop". That was the first time Ebony Eyez had worked with the TrackBoyz (producers Mark Williams & Joe Kent), but it wasn`t the last because they connected once again to work on "Get XXX`d", a track from the 2005 film "XXX: State Of The Union" that also featured J-Kwon & Petey Pablo. Her album "7 Day Cycle" followed a little later that year, produced by the TrackBoyz of course. This is how Ebony Eyez explains the meaning behind her album`s title...

"Seven is the number of completion & we`re looking at the typical seven days of a woman," she explains. "It`s about the typical emotions we go through in a 7 Day Cycle. I`m trying to represent & speak from a woman`s point of view & let people understand everything. We`ve got songs for Friday & Saturday, when maybe you want to go to the club. We`ve got the relationship songs where everything is going bad for you. It`s all about the different things women go through in seven days..."

She generated a lil` heat with 2 singles & a remix; the R&B flavored "Take Me Back" featuring Slim & Q of 112, the sex`D out club anthem"In Ya` Face" & the remix which features Da Baddest Bitch, Trina. Ebony came up with the concept for "In Ya` Face" after some kat at the club stepped to her...

"It was kind of a joke song at first," she recalls. "We were out one night at the club & this dude came up to me & was like, 'Let me see you bend over.' I was like, 'If I bend over will you let me put my ass in your face?' Then I came to the studio & I was like, 'Let me do this song.' It`s not meant to be taken so literally. It`s an equal opportunity song. If you think it`s OK to say those kind of things to me, then I feel it`s OK for me to say that..."

Don`t think that she`s a generic female rapper based on her 2 singles, I mean although the album itself was a commercial failure Ebony Eyez does showcase some skillZ on the mic. She gets real deep & emotional on the track "Dear Father", kicks an ode to her dildo on "Good Vibrations" (love the twist on the Scarface quote "Say hello to my little friend"....LoL) & drops "Act Like A Bitch", a track that let`s the lame~ass dudes know what some woman want...

I`ve got no idea what she`s up to now so if anyone does go `head & let me know, anyways enjoy the music videos & give her album a listen...
