Bahamadia (born Antonia Reed) is a Philadelphia-born hip hop artist, a DJ who later became an MC. As a member of Gang Starr Foundation, she released her critically-acclaimed debut album entitled Kollage in 1996. The album featured production by Guru and DJ Premier of Gangstarr. Kollage was followed in 2001 by BB Queen, an EP release.
Bahamadia is a respected lyricist in hip hop and is known for her silky, subdued monotone delivery. She has expressed a positive attitude toward globalism as an emerging trend in hip hop. For example, in a 2003 collaboration with little-known group the Sisters of the Underground on a track entitled "Global", she performs lyrics in the chorus which acknowledge Japan, Canada, Sweden, Norway, and Thailand, among other countries, for fostering vibrant hip hop communities, and Japan in particular for the dedication of her Japanese fans. She has recorded a number of bootlegs exclusively released in Japan.
Her reputation in North America has been enhanced by a number of highly regarded guest appearances on tracks by artists including Talib Kweli, The Roots, Jedi Mind Tricks and Planet Asia, and through her association with the Philadelphia hip hop collective Army of the Pharaohs.

The 90's remain hip hops Golden days
Bahamadia is one of the most underrated MCs and Lyricists.
Facts
She‘s the best female mc, no doubt about it.
Yeah she's got skills. So does Mystic and Sa-Roc.
Truth!
Word
They're not talking about money, sex, cars etc . Just straight bars . Damn ! I miss those days in Hip Hop .
The era of the tall ass project buildings, baggy jeans and ill ass graphic shirts. Glad to be born in those times.
DJ Premier switched to beast mode when making this beat
He’s always on beast mode
God only knows where he go it from !!!!!
Switched?🤔
@@BoxedNMarley Yes. Preem does not always drop hard tracks like this. This isnt a typical preem beat. Thats a fact
His top 3 beat
I miss this style of rap the flow the look the aura was everything.
Old is gold... Niggaz
Still the best female cypher I ever herd. Easy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
PERIOD!!!🔥🔥🔥
Please check out Che Noir "ladies brunch"
💯 🔥🔥 I remember listening to this for the first time sitting in my truck one morning before going into college and I listened to it several times and made myself late to class!
Yes mate, deffo 💯%
MC Lyte, Isis/Lin Q, Bahamadia, Jean Grey, Monie Love and Missy Elliot- 100% lyrical talent, none of them used sex or rachet stripper/sexuality to market themselves, and all respected to this day. All of them seemed to disappear when Hip Hop sold out and because a trash commercialized wasteland of garbage. Aside from the Griselda Crew (Roc Marciano, Mach Hommy, Benny the Butcher, etc.) and Mos Def I haven't listen to Hip Hop music since 2005.
this is 90s....the nostalgia makes me wanna cry and then jump into a time machine!
Bahamadia is so criminally underrated it sickens me that more people do not know of her or her impact. Her flow, lyricism, and cadence is top tier next level. Mecca Starr's verse was insane!! Lin Que with X-clan was also another crazy underrated female MC. Sadly, the best female MC's were not mainstream so most people don't know of them unless they grew up in the greatest era of Hip Hop 80's/90's.

In my eyes she's equivalent to a guru stylishly monotone hard punchlines and in the pocket timing not to mention high iq social commentary and witty af
Wuahah..
@GenXer1979.... Your spot on ☯️❤️🕉️💯xxx
💜
When you say hip hop...I picture this. Golden era, trance inducing sampled loops, 2 step hats, grimey basslines , scratches..that 90s feeling
Do worry about skratch culture lol,it's stronger and better than ever,to those always support skratchers and turntablist musicians all day an night 💯
Primo's beats are pure timeless masterpieces!
indeed
Beat, flow, everything is a masterpiece!
I'm humbled. Never heard this before! Legendary stuff right here.
Finally baptized son
Bahamadia....K-Swift...Mecca Starr......" Premo "....Madd Skillz.
For me, this song is one of the best in the history of hip hop, it's a shame that it is not as well known as other famous songs, but hey, quality is not even measured by quantity, total wreck is also one of my favorites, impressive, the best always Bahamadia K-Swift & Mecca Starr, really very good, I will continue listening until I die, and premier DJ in this impressive production, like everything he does, real hip hop forever.
DJ Premier beats always be fire!!!!!!!!
Bahamadia is without a shadow of a doubt the most underrated and slept on Female M.Cs EVER!! She bkows Lil Kim, Queen Latifa, Eve, Lady of Rage... ... infact all the Female M.Cs out the water!! Just because she never had the looks but she "Spits the Riddles like Film loose with my lyrics like a double jointed limb twist and a bend!" One ❤ Peace to Bahamadia and R.I.P K-Swift 🕊️🌠😇xx
"Mecca Star" kills this Track with her bit 💯💯💯💯

Mecca Starr verse is straight Classic!!
One of my top 20 tracks ever.ladies just killed it.one of my top ten preem beats.

IMO, 1996 was proly the best year in Hip Hop
That beat, those flows, a Rap masterpiece.

Mecca Starr has the perfect tone and flow
Yea

This is why when people say Nikki Minaj is the greatest female mc, I just shake my head. She would be mid tier in the 90's.

HOW WE GO FROM THIS TO ALL WACK SHIT OUT HERE. I CAN'T AND REFUSE TO BEND. THIS IS A CLASSIC
