Miss Knockout comes from South Jamaica, Queens. Starting as an Independent hip hop artist she decided to go study and explored the actor’s world. Thru hard work and dedication

she is making her presence known booking major commercials,billboard

ads, Television appearances, Making a Costar appearance on Gotham, you might have seen her in the Beats by Dre commercial with Kevin Garnett yelling “you all washed up” at him, Orange is the new black as a reoccurringinmate

, Basketball wives and the new movie “Free the nipple” to name a few. And with that said, a certain mentality comeswith

growing up in South Jamaica, Queens; once you set out to do something,you’re so determined that no one can stop you... In 2012 she was diagnosed

withstage

3 breast cancer and fought like a warrior to combat this disease while never missing a beat with her grind. Her acting is taking off but it all started with hip hop

at age 14 doing seminars to compete in battles. Let’s go deep into Miss Knockout’s world from the beginning.A

female rapper is a female whom just raps miss knockout isnot

defined as a rap chic she’s more than that she is an artist whom

does notlimit

herself to just hip hop she is a writer who is read by millions and a businesswomen

who takes her brand seriously.

Coming up in fosterhomes

, her adopted parents both passed away one month apart. This sent her yetto

another home. And since 16, she has been on her own. KNOCKOUT has been performing since 14; starting out learning to Dee Jay at first. Learning tricksand

jumping on the wheels as the secret weapon for most of the parties in thehood

. No matter where the audience was she put it down: on the corner of theblock

, the subway parks, you name it. School

was boring her, but when she didshow

up, she would maintain her straight A average. This boggled teachers whosoon

discovered she read excessively at home and wrote what they thought was complicated poetry, but turned out to be her freestyle for a demo she was dropping after school. Back then and to date, she’s in the game because she really loves it and not for money or nice clothes. Soon she was at every battle in the NYCarea

; mostly all guys back then, because for

some reason, girls wouldn’t come out too much. Her angle was not the bouncy flow, but a flow

with authority. She would always win or be runner up

. When she started to study the game, she foundthat

battle rappers couldn’t sell records. It was like a jinx; so she got outof

what she referred to as battle mode and focused on making songs. Her friends went to college and she stood by hip hop

faithfully, like holy matrimony. She began interning here and there, go to free seminars to network and do some showcases. Watching the game change right before her eyes, all she could think of was why there are only four girls out in all these years; and why, if we areso

few, are we fighting amongst ourselves. You see, the label switched gears on females because they felt that all females were the same, neck-snapping divas with bad attitudes. This made it challenging to find her niche. So she decided to create her own market; first by setting up a night with a live band at New York

’s

legendary Nell’s Night Club in Manhattan

. This prompted advertising agency to do a radio ad with her for Seagram’s Gin Bumpy BottleCampaign. Then she did a showcase, with her opening and then other acts following, which packed two levels at Club Downtime in Manhattan

. This ultimately led her to do a monthly showcase called Rock the Mic Right Showcase. This showcase helped makeher

a recognized name in the business. At about that time was when Jean Claudethe

Funky Pirate, a club promoter introduced her to Francky Moulet, a legendarybass

player

whom she renamed Dr. Dre from France. He recruited her for thecompilation

album

called From Paris

to Brooklyn

on Relief Records; also home to Narhed (out on arock

), Francky's

partner and fellow artist. This album features collabos withM1 and Sean Price and many rappers and R&B singers blended with Francky'sever changing beats. You see, this couldn’t come at a better time. Sometimes you have to sit back and study the game so you know what not to do. Now you won't hear her say she rhymes like a guy or brag about her deep voice because what's going to send her flying of

the shelves is

she’s different, with her own style like no one else. People are tired of jealous acting rap chicks. Lets

show people we are intelligent,

but have authority; sexy, but complex. Easy Mobee one of the greatest producers of our times doesn’t

co-sign just anyone as amatter

of fact

Miss Knockout is the first artist he ever wrote a letter of recommendation for. “She never ever has ceased to amaze me with her "goin

" vocal style, cadence on the mic and overall knack for creating catchy hooks. This is exactly what I look forward to when she graces the booth in honeycomb Studio for songs that I’m about to produce for her upcoming album project.” With 2 albums done she does not box herself into one sound lacing Hiphop

, R & B, house tracks she doesn’t limit herself from the popular top 40market but still lyrically inclined to capture the underground market. Not too many artists can write hit songs and take it to the streets to hang with the boys.

As a published writer at Floss Magazine, Miss Knockout has interviewed and wrote articles on major Artist such as 50 Cent and G Unit,Keyshia

Cole, E-40,Trey

Songz, Patricia Fields, Rachel Roy,Busta

Rhymes, Jada Kiss and Soulja boy Tellem to name a few. She stumbled upon an all female

music website called Queenpenz,

loaded up her songs and lock jaws into the No. 1, 2,3, 4 and 5 spots on the charts for four months. The owners declared her theface

of Queenpenz and have her hosting her own radio show atblogtalkradio.com/queenpenz every Sunday from 2p.m.

‘til 4 p.m. Some of NewYork's biggest DJs like DJ Self at Power 105 have played her songs in the club.She

is a 2 time

winner of “Best female rap artist” category in the upper NewYork state music awards. An internet beast with 35 million hits on Myspace when it was at its height and 25,000 plusfan

base

combined on YouTube, reverbnation

, Facebook and twitter

. Her Instagram is at 15k and growing. Her constant growing buzz is making her relevant among her peers. She’s confident and not intimidated by challenges women are often faced with in the business. “Female rap artists, I believe, would go much further in realizing each of us has something different and unique to the game. Sacrificing a career, college, maybe a family, because you are so determined to do something you love is a gamble. And it looks like the bet will finally payoff because the buzz is on and it only takes the right opportunity to present itself to MISS KNOCKOUT and the game will never be the same. With MISS KNOCKOUTcomes change; and change is inevitable. She’s confident and ready to lead by example and break the cycle for females in the industry. Meet Miss Knockout she is more than just a Rap chic!
