Nikki D

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nichelle "Nikki D" Strong is an American female rapper. She used to be a member of Ice T's Rhyme Syndicate and - after her time at Def Jam Recordings - joined Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit. "Daddy's Little Girl" is probably her most popular track; using samples from Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner". Nevertheless, her career somehow never really took off, probably because her début album - also called Daddy's Little Girl - was much more hardcore than its title track, confusing both hardcore rap fans and more mainstream-oriented audiences. The album was produced by Leaders of the New School, Smooth Ice and Sam Sever among others.

After appearing on a Flavor Unit compilation she was one of the rappers on the CD The Rapsody - Hip Hop Meets Classic, produced by the Voelker Brothers. She also had guest appearances on records by Apache and Alyson Williams.
