A #1 album is not enough? How about Being the first female solo artist to go platinum wasn’t enough? The jury is out on whether or not those feats were enough to keep Da Brat in your conscience over the past 2 1/2 years; gone but hopefully not forgotten, while serving a 3 years sentence for an assault conviction after hitting a waitress over the head with a champagne bottle.

I think they call that living out your rhymes, you remember the female gangstress- the year was 1994 and the speakers bumped, “its the B to the R – A-T and I’m so……so, so, funkdafied”. Piggy backing off the success of Kriss Kross which ushered in a new sound, perpetuated the new Black capital- Atlanta; the city and its artists have a done a very good job to date sustaining its place as a hit factory. At this point in time, the same may not be expected of Da Brat, but I could imagine the only thing she is concerned with right now is freedom and I can’t blame her. Music is a passion for many, but nothing can compare to freedom of movement, of thought, of actions and the ability to enjoy some of the little things that we take for granted so often.

Music will go on, and maybe she will reinvigorate her career; I’m sure we’ll get a clue in due time of what’s to come for the artist, but for now let’s just celebrate the return of the person- WELCOME HOME to DA BRAT.
