Who said you have to sell out to make it?

I remember back in the day going to Tempermental and watching Siya perform.  She had a drive and stage presence that we all knew would take her far.  She's come a LONG way.  It is truly REFRESHING to come across an artist that is true to herself.  Siya is pretty much the first OPENLY lesbian rapper/MC in the industry. 

If you haven't seen Siya locally its because she's busy doing college tours, performing live at BBKings with Wyclef Jean, opening for Fat Joe and Fabulous for one of their concerts among other things.  Siya receives praises for staying relevant in a male based industry.  She holds her own and what stands out the most about her is that she is NOT a gimmick.  This is her.  No facial spasms, no implants and no sometimeish lesbian tendencies.

As a lesbian in this community, I salute you and your success.  Thanks for staying true to yourself and not conforming like the rest of these lesbian rappers do for a little commercial success.  From performing in tempermental to opening for Platinum selling artist, keep doin' your thing!
