Biography
Early life
Born and raised in upstate New York, Sarai Howard didn't exactly imagine herself as a rapper. While her single mother played Fleetwood Mac records, Sarai's older brother exposed his kid sister to the heavy, hard-knock world of hip-hop. Seminal albums by the likes of N.W.A., Public Enemy, and Run-D.M.C. impacted Sarai so much, she wrote her first rhyme at age 15. Two years later, she and a friend took a trip to Atlanta. It was there that Sarai would get her lucky break. http://ozonemag.com/aug2002/sarai.html LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Some of you know me as the former editor of Orlando Source Magazine She was introduced to producer L.J. Sutton (aka Chocolate Starr), leaving a quick impression as a slick Yankee girl whose rhymes were just as tight as those on the streets. In 2000, Sarai left her college jaunt behind to re-join Sutton down South. http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/sarai_rap_/artist.jhtml Sarai (Rap) | Free Music Videos, News, Photos, Interviews, Lyrics, Tour Dates, Ringtones | VH1
