Eve (rapper)

In 2004, Eve appeared alongside Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman. Their most recent album, Welcome to Poppy's was released in 2003 and had a more upbeat, more rock-influenced sound. They are currently working on a new album and a sequel to their 2000 Maui Film Festival debut, Maui Homicide 2000. Officially Eve is a part of Aftermath Entertainment, but she is still signed to the Ruff Ryders management company. The 1999 album Mimosa mostly contained covers and different versions of earlier released tracks, but the 2001 Loco contained all new songs, including the hit single "Loco", and a more relaxed sound. Dre is the executive producer to the album. 100% Colombian, released in 1998, contained slightly less rock influences. Singles included "Love Unlimited" (a tribute to Barry White) and "Big Night Out". Dr. Come Find Yourself, the band's first album, was released in 1995, and contained the small hit "Scooby Snacks", which contained samples of movies by Quentin Tarantino.

Eve is working on her fourth solo album on Aftermath Entertainment. Mackie was then later replaced in 2003 by Mark (aka "Frank" or "The Rhythm Master") from Leicester, UK, who had previously worked with the band as Mackie's technician. The owner tried to blackmail money from her with the pictures. In 1999, Borovini left the band (after he, in the words of Huey: "went a little crazy and departed to Peru"), and was replaced by Maxwell Jayson ("Mackie"). In the summer of 2003, there were some nude pictures that surfaced online that were allegedly of Eve in a sexual pose with another woman, taken about eight years before, when she was a stripper. The band was formed in 1993 by Hugh Morgan ("Huey", vocals, guitar), Brian Leiser ("Fast", keyboards, bass, trumpet, harmonica) and Steve Borovini ("O", drums). "Gangsta Lovin'", with Alicia Keys, became another pop hit and Eve closed out 2003 by signing to UPN for a television show about a fashion designer. Although never very popular in their own country, the band has gained a considerable following internationally, notably in northwest Europe.

She released Eve-Olution, her third album, in 2002. Their music is a blend of many styles, most notably hip hop, rock and blues, and their songs deal with everyday life in New York: drugs, organized crime and politics. Eve then appeared in XXX with Vin Diesel and in Barbershop with Ice Cube. The Fun Lovin' Criminals are an alternative rock band from New York City, United States. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Scorpion went platinum. The follow-up, Scorpion, was released in 2001 to good reviews, but the second single, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt) became a pop success.

Her 1999 debut was Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders First Lady and the album was an unprecedented success, the first rap album by a woman to enter the American charts at #1. Her single "What Ya Want" soon became a hit, and she collaborated with The Roots and Blackstreet and Janet Jackson, further expanding her fanbase. She had, however, befriended DMX and appeared on It's Dark and Hell Is Hot and other Ruff Ryders' compilations. Her label, Aftermath Records, found itself in financial trouble and Eve was soon without a record contract.

After a period of working as a stripper, Eve returned to hip hop at the encouragement of pop superstar Mase; she recorded "Eve of Destruction", which appeared on the soundtrack to Bulworth in 1998 (see 1998 in music). She adopted the name Gangsta in high school as part of an all-female group called EDGP (pronounced Egypt) and eventually went solo as Eve of Destruction. Eve (born Eve Jihan Jeffers on November 10, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American rapper associated with the Ruff Ryders crew.
