Da Brat Birthday
Da Brat is an icon in hip hop, so we celebrate her birthday by sharing a few of our favorite hits from the rapper.

It's cause for celebration because it's So So Def icon Da Brat's 46th birthday. We haven't received much music from the rapper in recent years, but her influence continues to reverberate throughout hip hop culture. Da Brat didn't just step into the music scene when she released Funkdafied back in 1994; she kicked the door in. Her debut effort went Platinum and was followed up with Anuthatantrum (1996 - Gold), Unrestricted (2000 - Platinum), and Limelite, Luv & Niteclubz (2003).
