"I first bought this album in '97 based on the artist's name. I thought "Conscious Daughters" would lead me to some Afro-centric, socially uplifting music - a la Common Sense, Poor Righteous Teachers. I couldn't have been more wrong! And more satisfied!I popped the disc in my car stereo and got an unexpected treat. These women were rapping about serious issues, but from the street side. And rapping most competently too! Most every song on the album still stands the test of time, which can't be said for most rap.The real standout tracks are:
Strikin' - The ladies tell you how they roll.
Gamers - Blueprint for female macks
All Caught Up - Chillingly graphic story of how an hiv infected woman takes her revenge against every man that she can. Truly, Hell hath no fury like an hiv infected woman...
Widow - The Gripping story of how the "wife" of a major drug dealer continues the family business and settles the score with those who betrayed her man.I recently replaced my original copy that got loaned out and never came back. It was hard to find, so if you can get it, add this gem to your collection!"

Wow!, These girls got game!

"In the rap music industry, there's very few female artists in this game. The conscious daughters are the first female rap group from the West Coast (the Bay Area). These ladies are just raw and as just intense as some of the artists from the West Coast. Standout tracks in this album are "She's so tight", "Female Voclaism", and "Widow". With nothing restricted, this album is a gem. Unforunately, they didn't get the fame they deserved and they seem to disappear which seems kind of sad because they have so much talent and skill. None the less, these ladies made history for being the first female rap group to come out. Get yourself a copy, you won't be dissappointed!"
