Inga DeCarlo Fung Marchand (born September 6, 1978), known by her stage name Foxy Brown, is a rapper. After signing to Def Jam in 1996, she released her debut album, Ill Na Na. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA and has sold over 7 million copies worldwide. She was part of the hip hop supergroup the Firm, along with Nas, AZ, and Cormega. The Firm's sole album arrived in 1997 and was released by Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records. In 1999, her second album Chyna Doll, debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, making her the second female rapper to top the chart after Lauryn Hill in 1998. She is a Trinidadian-American of Dougla and Chinese-Trinidadian descent. She and two older brothers grew up in Brooklyn. Her parents divorced when she was four, and her family moved in with her grandfather. She attended Brooklyn College Academy. Her second album Chyna Doll arrived in 1999, and her third, the Grammy-nominated Broken Silence, in 2001. Since 2001, she has featured on songs but has not released any albums. In 2003, she left Def Jam and canceled the release of her Ill Na Na 2 album, but returned in 2005 once Jay-Z, then the label's president and CEO, signed her again to begin work on her new album Black Roses. Her mixtape Brooklyn Don Diva was released in May 2008, and her visual album, King Soon Come, was slated for 2019 release but has been delayed indefinitely. On January 13, 2017, she gave birth to her first child, a girl. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CiKa-AwuvhM0aPx25aOssIRBtYMEYgjVgcvkcQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Psycho had more drama than a Foxy remix. But this lyricist could probably fend off psycho killer Norman Bates with her sassy ghetto-girl rhymes."
