MICHIE MEE
Revered as the Queen of Canadian Hip Hop, in 1988, Michie Mee became the first Canadian emcee to sign a record deal with a major American label, Priority/Atlantic. The Jamaican born rapper, actress and former track star is also one of the first hip hop artists to blend patois, singing and rhyming, as heard on her debut album with DJ/Producer LA Luv. ‘Jamaican Funk: Canadian Style’ was released in 1991 and won a Juno Award for the dancehall inspired single, ‘Jamaican Funk’ in 1992.
