Joy Denalane- Born & Raised(2006)

Joy Denalane is a musician who was born in Schoneberg, Berlin. At the age of sixteen, Denalane started to focus on her music. At the age of nineteen, she was signed to a pop label, but she was soon released because her and her management could not come to an agreement on what her music should sound like. She was then signed to Four Music and released her debut album Mamani in June of 2002, which debuted at number eight on the German Albums Chart. In 2006, she and her husband founded their own label, Nesola Records, and Denalane released this album. This album is completely different from her first because it was recorded in Philly, while Mamani was recorded in Germany, and it's also in English. The album has appearances from rappers Lupe Fiasco, Raekwon, and Governor. A couple of standouts are A Stranger In This Land and Caught Up. Also, the song "7 Year Inch" is a beautiful tribute to the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul AKA Mary J. Blige. Enjoy.
