The Atlanta-native released her debut album “Miss Thang” in 1995 and it ultimately sold 1.5 million copies, certifying triple platinum in the US. Her second album “The Boy is Mine” did the same and was nominated for Record of the Year at the 1999 Grammy Awards. She has collaborated with many notable artists and producers including Usher, Brandy, OutKast, Jermaine Dupri, DMX, Tyrese, Busta Rhymes, Dem Franchize Boyz, Twista, Swizz Beats, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Wale, Rick Ross, Keyshia Cole, and several others. She dropped her “New Life” in 2012, and though she has not announced plans for an upcoming project, she was spotted in the studio with Miguel and Future, so keep posted for new music from Monica.
