Mia X

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mia Young (born January 9, 1971 in New Orleans) known by her stage name Mia X was the first female rapper to sign to No Limit Records. Mia has released three albums: Good Girl Gone Bad, Unlady Like and Mama Drama. The album Unladylike was certified gold by the RIAA for sales exceeding 500,000 copies.

Although born in New Orleans, Mia began her rapping career in Queens, New York as part of New York Incorporated, which disbanded after only four years. She then returned to New Orleans and met with Master P, an aspiring rapper and producer who signed her to his record label, No Limit.

Mia X reappeared on the rap scene in late 2006 with a track called "Verbal Assault" on the Southern Smoke mixtape series. The song included a refrain with the words "Guess Who's Back?", leading to some speculation that she might be working on a new album.

Mia X is currently at work as the executive producer on the release of her son Sean aka Jakk Jo's debut album.

She is not to be confused with M.I.A.
