An important work that strongly reflects the intelligence, humor, and positive messages of early 90s hip hop.
The jazzy, funky, and old-school sound permeates the entire album.
Her songs combine socially conscious and light-hearted flow, and she made a strong presence among the few female MCs at the time. Her unassuming style and approachable delivery embodied the peaceful and open atmosphere that is characteristic of Native Tongues.
