Former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland and music industry veteran Sylvia Rhone will be celebrated during Grammy week at the third annual Essence Black Women in Music event. Featuring an exclusive performance by Rowland and special guest Eve, the event is invite-only and takes place Feb. 8.
Congrats to Rowland + Rhone on being honored.
Also, the event will feature guest DJ MC Lyte, the first female solo rapper nominated for a Grammy!
“To be acknowledged by [Essence] is truly a privilege,” said Rhone in an email to Billboard. “To be honored with Kelly Rowland, for whom I have the utmost respect, will make this a very special evening.”

Who is Eve? She is a Grammy Award, NAACP Image Award, and MTV Video Music Award winner who has garnered over 20 nominations for her music, acting, and work both within and outside of the entertainment industry. All of which was accomplished in a seven-year period.
We can never forget that she was and always will be the “first lady of Ruff Ryders.” Yet her last album, EVE-Olution, was released 10 years ago, her last film role was in 2009, and other than a few guest verses here or appearances there, it is safe to say that she’s been missing from the Hip-Hop world. Fast-forward to now, and things have changed. Eve is in the process of finishing her fourth studio album, she just wrapped a new film, still has her hand, or should we say, foot, in the fashion industry, and is preparing to release her first two books. All of this, and more, is on tap for 2012.
AllHipHop.com spent some time talking to the beautiful Philadelphia native as she vacations in London for the holidays about a number of things, including the long and bumpy road to her new album, her thoughts on Nicki Minaj, female rappers, and the state of the current musical landscape. Eve also gave us a sneak peek into some of her other ventures and endeavors. Read all about it below:
AllHipHop.com: Hey, Eve, how are you doing?
Eve: Good. I’m in London right now. How are you?
AllHipHop.com: Good, thanks. So, I have to ask about you and your music. Where is your musical state of mind at right now? Keep Reading »
