Hurricane G only managed to release a pair of albums—1997’s All Woman and 2013’s Mami & Papi, with Thirstin Howl III. Nevertheless, she was an underground favorite off the strength of her assertiveness and as member of the Hit Squad, collaborating with the aforementioned Redman and Erick Sermon as well as Keith Murray along with other peers like Smif-N-Wessun and Tony Touch.
Fans of the 90’s Hip-Hop readily remember Hurricane G. an Afro-Puerto Rican female rapper who took no shorts on the mic. That’s her voice on the intro to Redman’s classic “Tonight’s Da Night.”
It’s a tough evening in the underground Hip-Hop community with news also breaking of Artifact rapper Tame One’s untimely passing.
