In a hip-hop game dominated by male rappers, comes a refreshing new sound and look in the form of 25 year old hip hop artist, Jade Fox. The female mc, who is of Black and Asian heritage, proves that intense lyrics and crazy flows aren't only for the guys. Combining the skills of a lyricist, mc, and a poet, Ms. Fox is able to transform beats into thought provoking masterpieces. Describing herself as "that underground female with commercial appeal," Jade Fox shows it is possible to create entertaining music with substance, a combination not often heard in today's pop driven market.
Blending hip hop with elements of poetry, R&B, reggae and rock, great range is shown by the female mc through songs touching on serious aspects of living life to battle rhymes for all who doubt her. A wide range of influences which include Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Lauryn Hill, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix have provided a foundation for Jade Fox to create a refreshing and universal sound that is hard to place in a box. With her music speaking for itself as an honest form of self-expression that is entertaining and related to by many, Jade Fox is poised to become one of the top artists of hip hop.
“Jade Fox’s voice is what separates her from the pack of other local female MCs—not just what she chooses to say, but how she says it. On her second release, following 2007’s Ashes of Another Life, Fox takes the original beat work from a small roster of producers (Dom P, Mac G, Jake Rockwell, Tytanium, Mad Beatz, the Green Team, Mista Haynes, Juice, Rrice [sic] the Golden Grain, Delano Dutch, Unheard of) and works it into just more than an hour’s worth of music. Fox is an agile rapper, able to move at a quick clip, as on the sometimes breathless “Call of Duty,” or almost sing-speak over a slinky reggae beat in “Love Drunk.” At any pace, she enunciates clearly and crisply, a delivery that allows her to masticate musical bits out of phonemes.”

“Jade Fox is a name that rings volumes around this region. She is not only a dope female emcee, but a DOPE emcee period. She has been trudging the underground scene for a good while, blending sharp lyricism with sometime eclectic musical stylings. With her model looks and rugged lyrics, Jade Fox brings a unique perspective to the hip hop game, because there is indeed substance beyond the allure. She is poised to unleash her talents on an unsuspecting hip hop world, and I envision the next twelve months as the launching padf or Jade Fox on the national front within this hip hop spectrum.”
