JV`s "NaYBa`HooD QueeN"...

Re~uPP`d, originally posted 01.23.2010...






First off I gotta have a lil` moment of silence for the homie Jsta & his dead blog Back 2 Da OG, the reason being? He`s the kat that originally posted up the album that I`m sharing with y`all today. It`s a DaMn shame that his blog is no longer around because he was a very informative kat when it came to West Coast Hip Hop. So much love & BiG uPs goes out to him wherever he`s at now~a~days, now let me get back to the music that I`m sharing with y`all...




Jennifer Velarde or as the Hip Hop world knows her JV reps Downey, California & she released her debut album in 1994 titled "Nayba`Hood Queen" thru Thump Records. Production was handled by The Baka Boyz, Kid Frost, Tony Alvarez, Chris Gunn & Jon St. James. JV wrote most of her stuff, but Kid Frost did lend a helping hand on 3 of the albums tracks. Aside from that though she pretty much did her own thing when it comes to the lyrics. With that being said though I do have to mention that she doesn`t really spit anything mind~blowin`, she`s not terrible but she`s definitely far from bein` in Remy Ma`s circles....LoL




What really saves the album from being totally passed over is the G-Funk beats that she raps over, the production should manage to hold your attention. The album`s title track is my favorite, maybe it`s because of the lil` Eazy-E sample.....LoL, anyway I find that it`s really the last few tracks that are the ones that standout the most, especially "Slow Down" the collabo` with A.L.T. & Kid Frost (which I mislabeled while tagging the track, I put A.T.L. instead....LoL, my bad). Anyways I do not know any more about JV so if anyone out there does, please feel free to school me. For now, go `head & check out the album if you`re curious...
