Remy Ma Biography

Remy Ma Biography

After the death of Big Pun, rapper Fat Joe signed Remy to his new record label, SRC under Universal and made her a member of Terror Squad. Remy Ma got the attention of hip-hop fans in the summer hit of 2004 "Lean Back" along side Fat Joe and the Terror Squad. Following the success of Lean Back, which garnered Remy Ma a Grammy nomination, Remy's debut solo album, There's Something About Remy: Based on a True Story, only went on to sell 150,000 units in its first year of release. With the solo albums lacking debut, Remy decided to part from longtime affiliates of Fat Joe and the Terror Squad, breaking her deal with SRC/Universal in the process.

She is best known by her stage name, Remy Ma, although she originally went by the name Remy Martin (after the cognac). Remy has released three singles from her album There's Something About Remy: "Whuteva" , "Conceited", and "Feels So Good". "Conceited" was the most successful, however the album was largely a commercial failure selling only 75,000 units in its opening week and 158,000 units to date. The album received 3.5 mic's from The Source magazine.

Remy Ma is currently working on her second album entitled PUNISHer and is currently in negotiations with a major label as her new recording home. Her second album was preceded by the mixtape Shesus Khryst, the album cover depicting Remy Ma on a cross.[1] The first single is "Weatherman" which originally debuted on her personal website for purchasing and viewing only. The follow up single to Weatherman is title track, 'Shesus Kryst'.
