A Journey of Triumph Over Adversity

SHE REAL’s story begins in Harlem, New York, where her love for music was sparked at an early age. Watching her father write and record songs in their living room as a child, SHE REAL was inspired to write her first song at just nine years old. However, she spent the next decade chasing her dream of becoming a professional basketball player.

​

Her focus shifted after a life-altering event at 19—a sexual assault by her then-boyfriend. With basketball no longer enough to maintain her sanity, music became her healing outlet, allowing her to transform pain into power. This decision to pursue music professionally marked a turning point in her life, and since then, she has used her craft not only to reclaim her own voice but to inspire others to channel their struggles into something meaningful.

This event features Netflix’s Rhythm & Flow Season 2 winner DreTL, rising Hip Hop star AJ McQueen, Roc-A-Fella Records affiliate Grafh, and more.

Exclusive Album: I Don’t Rap About My Pu$$y

On September 3, 2024, SHE REAL shook the Hip Hop landscape with the release of her ninth album, I Don’t Rap About My Pu$$y—a fearless statement in an era where artistry is too often overshadowed by hyper-sexualization. The project saw a special re-release on Even Biz on January 13, 2025, bundled with exclusive unreleased content, further cementing its impact.

Since its debut, the album has sparked conversations and garnered socail media recognition from some of the industry's most respected figures, including super-producer Timbaland, music supervisor Derryck "Big Tank" Thornton (The Chi, BMF, Raising Kanan, Power Book II-IV), legendary West Coast producer DJ Battlecat, Wild ‘N Out’s own Justina Valentine, actor, writer, and comedian Orlando Jones (Drumline, American Gods, Biker Boyz), Bay Area lyricist Symba, and Taj Austin of the acclaimed Hip Hop group Coast Contra, among others.

​

More than just an album, I Don’t Rap About My Pu$$y is a bold cultural critique—a lyrical tour de force that challenges the industry’s fixation on sexualized narratives while reclaiming the true essence of Hip Hop. Through razor-sharp wordplay and unfiltered social commentary, SHE REAL spotlights the depth, complexity, and power of Black women in rap—beyond the stereotypes imposed on them.

​

This release became available on all major streaming platforms on June 9th, 2025, reinforcing SHE REAL’s commitment to sharing authentic, unfiltered storytelling and Hip Hop excellence with the world.
