Notability-tagged. Main claims to notability (one of earliest female rappers and earliest to record album) are unsourced. Thought it good for community to have a look. Agricola44 (talk) 15:14, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: she was certainly well known in early hip hop circles – she made her single in 1979 at the very beginnings of hip hop's breakthrough into the mainstream, and then hosted a radio show in her native Philadelphia. Her recent sacking from the station has made it into the
  Philadelphia Inquirer [1] and a Google Books search will show she's been name-checked in several books about hip hop [2], [3], [4], [5]. She was also editor-in-chief of Word Up! magazine for a while. I'd understand if other editors consider that one single and a local radio show isn't enough to pass notability, and it is difficult to find non-internet sources, but she is definitely a respected name within hip hop.
