Honorable Mention:
Amil
Her voice is one of a kind and her bars are impeccable, they even excited the likes of Jay Z. During the late 90s, this former Roc-a-fella artist was certainly at the right place at the right time. She could be heard on classic jams like “Can I Get A…”, “Jigga What, Jigga Who”, and “Hey Papi”. If not for her abrupt disappearance from the rap scene and her short lived career in the spotlight, Amil may have made my top ten. She most definitely was an asset to the game, but should have capitalized more on her opportunity.
