Foxy Brown is an American rapper. Upon signing to Def Jam Recordings in 1996, she released her debut album, Ill Na Na in November of that year. The album was met with critical and commercial success, becoming certified platinum by the RIAA and selling over 7 million units worldwide. The following year, she was placed in the hip hop supergroup the Firm along with Nas, AZ and Cormega (who was later replaced by Nature). The Firm’s sole album (1997) was released through Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment. In 1999, Marchand released her second album Chyna Doll to continued success, debuting atop the Billboard 200 and making her the second female rapper to do so after Lauryn Hill in 1998.
Her third album Broken Silence (2001), saw a slight commercial decline and contained the Grammy Award-nominated track “Na Na Be Like”. In 2003, she left Def Jam and canceled the release of her next album, Ill Na Na 2: The Fever, but returned in 2005 once frequent collaborator Jay-Z, the label’s then-president, signed her again to begin work on another ultimately-shelved album titled Black Roses. Following years of legal issues and a lack of output, Marchand released the mixtape Brooklyn Don Diva in 2008. Her long-delayed visual album King Soon Come, was slated for release in 2019 but has been delayed indefinitely.
