Eve has made a name for herself as a star to be reckoned with. Whether winning a Grammy Award, acting on screen or performing live in concert, the MC has become known as one of the hottest female artists of the day. Born November 19, 1979, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native has spent close to a decade as one of the leading ladies in the world of rap and hip-hop. Since her debut album Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryder's First Lady, she has definitely proven herself as an artist and as a woman. She signed on with DMX's Ruff Ryders in 1999, after passing a battle-rap audition and contributed to the label's Ryde or Die, Vol. 1 compilation. Her single from the album was "What Ya Want" and hit the R&B top ten, building anticipation for her debut album.

The album certainly did not disappoint, peaking at number one on The Billboard 200, it also topped the R&B/Hip-Hop charts and peaked at number 16 in Canada. Since then she has released two other albums, both of which have scored excellent points on Billboard, remaining in the top ten on the charts. Her singles have also scored well in the charts, giving her a name as one of the most prominent musicians out there.

Even though she moved away from some of her musical ventures for a time, going more into film and television, Eve's music has continued to be well-loved and inspirational to her generation. Her tough-chick persona and strong street savvy has given her an edge in the industry that is second to none. Her most recent release was the album Here I Am which hit shelves in 2007. The album presented the world with an updated and more womanly picture of Eve, who also starred in an eponymous TV series which aired from September of 2003 to May of 2006.
