An Evening with Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah started her career beatboxing for the rap group Ladies Fresh. In 1988, local DJ Mark the 45 King heard a demo version of Latifah's single, 'Princess of the Posse,' and gave the demo to Fab Five Freddy (who at the time hosted 'Yo! MTV Raps'). Freddy helped Latifah sign with Tommy Boy Records at the age of 18. Robb D. Cohen / robbsphotos.com
