The new generation of hip hop
Rece Steele aka Lorice Steele is one of the hottest up and coming females in the rap game. The Bronx New York native Carry's a quality that we rarely see from females in hip hop.
Her interest in music began at the early age of 5 years old. Her mom formally known as L.A. Star was a hip hop artist in the mid 80's. This was Rece's introduction to what would be
a life long dream and career for the determined artist. Rece would tag along to shows, photo shoots, magazine interviews, studio sessions and video shoots.Her mom was one of
the first female artist on Boogie Down production's (DDP) with the likes of KRS One and other's. Her mom later on signed a solo deal to profile records. " I had the chance to see what
the industry was like very early, the God's and the bad's made me who I an today". Although her mom never reached super star status Rece still had a deep passion for music. As
time went on Rece started getting involved with musical activities in school and in her Bronx community." I did anything related to music" Rece was involved in tap and ballet classes,
community talent shows and the chorus Trying to find her nitch. It wasn't until Rece started writing poetry that she realized what she was born to do "HIP HOP".
" I was a secret writer" Rece admits she had books filled up with rhymes by the age of 13 but was to shy to let people know what she was doing.
At the age of 15 Rece let it out. It was a hip hop battle at Grace dodge vocational High School in the Bronx where she realized rap was what she wanted to do professionally.
The response she got form the crowed lunch room full of teens was over whelming. It was official Rece was born to do Hip Hop.
As time passed Rece had life changing experiences. She had lost her grandmother in June 17 2000. Rece states this was the hardest thing she had ever had to deal with but it made
her tuffer. "My grandmother was my mom and dad, So it felt like I was all alone in the world". This is where the pen came in. Rece used hip hop as a stress reliever to ease pain.
At the age of 19 Rece had a son. Rece was a mom and took time away from her career to work and take care of her child. She still continued to write and go to the studio as often as
possible.
Rece's true grind began In Aug 2006. She put out her first Mixtape tittled Hard as Steele. She would spend her day's working a Morris heights Health center in the Bronx and her night
doing underground show cases and going to the studio. She realized then how it hard it was to get into the music industry. Rece always did things for self. She pushed and sold her
own music being that she didn't have proper backing. Rece states " I did everything I could do to a buzz but it still wasn't enough".
In the summer of 2007 Rece got an email that would change her life. There was an email sent to her about a VH1 all female reality hip hop show called Miss Rap Supreme.
Rece was asked to come in for a casting call after sending a heart touching story about her struggles being a up and coming MC.
VH1 called Rece in for a casting call and she made the show. The show was a rap competition for $100,000. This was the break she needed to get her name out there.
Rece ended up winning the show and walking home with the tittle of Miss Rap Supreme. Although the show didn't get her a record deal it got her world wide exposure.
The hungry artist still was patinet about her dream. She stated her own company called 80'z Baby Productionz. " My movement represent female Independence"
I'm hand's on with everything I do". Rece has been fighting her way through the game ever since. She Dropped her second Mixtape in March 2009.
Tittled A Man's World. it discusses woman issues and has really started to get her noticed. She is running a video campaign for the tape being that labels say it's so hard to market a woman.
" I have to show I can market myself being that I am a woman.
Rece continues to work hard and has mad a huge net buzz.
