Grammy nominated, Brit award winner and Harlem-bred vocalist Kelis left her parents' home at 16 and landed a record deal four years later. In mid-1999, Kelis was singing alongside rap troublemaker Ol’ Dirty Bastard on his cut "Got Your Money," and her signature Technicolor-spiraled afro & colorful style sparked critics' interests. Kelis captured feminist desires on her debut album Kaleidoscope, released in December 1999. 2003's Tasty followed and yielded the Top Ten hit "Milkshake," a Neptunes production. In 2006, her fourth album, Kelis Was Here, was released through Jive, led by the duly assertive "Bossy." Kelis has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry – having recorded with Foxy Brown, Lil' Kim, Ol' Dirty Bastard, OutKast, Boys Noize, Usher, Moby, Bjork, and the Crookers.
