(Reporter7.com 2007-07-11) Known for her strong lyrical introduction with GZA/Genius Of The Wu-Tang Clan on the album "Beneath The Surface", Njeri has gone on from strength to strength. Find out more on this interview.
Njeri was born in the hometown of Soul music, Detroit, Michigan. Her love of music was influenced early by her father who was also a songwriter and musician. Most Wu fans would recognise her from her contribution to Wu-Tang Clan's GZA/Genius album "Beneath The Surface" on songs '1112 and 'Victim- while more than holding her own with veteran rappers such as Killah Priest and Masta Killah.
Next time she was seen on the mainstream again was her role on Eminem's movie "8 Miles" where she performed her own lyrics, adorned in a 3/4ths length skirt and hair wrap, as the '3rd Parking Lot Rapper- in the movie's 'Cipher- scene. Gaining inquisitive fans world-wide, Njeri released her first solo album 'Supa Sista- in 2005. The album displayed Njeri's natural talents, though lacked the push it truly deserved.
Njeri continued recording as well as performing. She has graced audiences with her lyrics
all throughout the Detroit area at venues such as Cobo Hall, St. Andrews Hall, Hart Plaza, the State Theater, the Loading Dock and many others. Njeri Earth's performance experience includes the Wet Lands in New York as well as several performances at the Harriet Tubman school in Harlem for the Nation of God's and Earth's 'Show and Prove-. Njeri has also performed and was well received in Atlanta, Indiana, and Canada.
2007 marks a sort of rebirth for Njeri. She's spent the beginning of the year speaking with
and teaching young artists the importance of maintaining a message and keeping originality in their music. Njeri is also using this year to release her proudest musical work to date, the album '20-20".
