Back in the late 80s when MC Hammer was dominating hip-hop and R&B, he introduced us to one of his protégés B. ANGIE B. and she came roaring out the gate with an Emotions cover of “I Don’t Want To Lose Your Love”. She was the tiny women with the big voice in Hammer’s crew. If you need to refresh your memory, check ole girl out in this Old School music video…

She’s BACK and she’s looking good and sounding just as good as she ever has! Check out this recent pic of her and she has a new video she released for her single, “I Wanna Be.”

She eventually quietly left the music scene and focused on raising her family. She and her two children now live in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA where she works in interior design and real estate. Here’s a 2013 pic of B Angie B with her beautiful children.

Back in the day B Angie B, like Mary J. Blige, also released a cover of Chaka Khan’s hit “Sweet Thing”. It didn’t do too much on the charts and after her one album on Capital Records, she was dropped from the label. Her birth name is Angela R. Boyd and she was raised in Mississippi. After High School, with a friend’s advice, she jumped ship to Oakland, CA.

It was not long after this relocation, she was discovered by MC Hammer. After pondering for days and weeks, she told Hammer she couldn’t come up with anything. He then told her don’t worry about a stage name, just be Angie B. And she took that and ran with it as B. ANGIE B.

Because her debut album didn’t sell well, she was subsequently dropped from her label, she found a lil’ more success after that when she appeared in the Kid ‘n Play movie, Class Act, and sang on the soundtrack title track “Class Act (Work That Body)”. The title track was also released as a video. Then in the summer of 2009, she released new music, including a remake of “Ring My Bell.” and after that she took a break for years. It’s good to see she hasn’t missed a beat at all since her hiatus and it’s good to see she’s still singing and still able to pursue what she loves- her music. Go check her out on Twitter at twitter.com/BAngieB4real/media
