| Eve is a former member (and only female) of hardcore rap group Ruff Ryders, and counts two platinum albums (over one million in sales) in her repertoire. Her biggest single is "Who's That Girl." |

| She's tough, straight, talented, and cares about what others think, as much as Bill Clinton cares about getting intimate and interactive with good-looking women. |

Eve Jihan Jeffers was born in 1979, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her childhood was not an easy one; her teenage parents were separated when she was 12, and her mother and grandmother raised her. When Eve was 14, she welcomed a new stepbrother to the family after her mother's remarriage.
Although surrounded by trouble among her peers, Eve was always one to use her creativity positively. Even in the third grade, she was writing poetry and short stories as a student, and earning merit awards for her work.
Eve displayed a talent for emceeing as a teenager, and under the name "gangsta," she was rapping as part of a rap group, EDGP (pronounced "Egypt"). The group broke up not long after only a few performances, which prompted Eve to go her own way and take her emcee and rap skills to local talent shows and clubs. Naming herself "Eve of Destruction," Eve was paving the road to success and conquering the rap scene in Philadelphia -- a difficult feat for a female.
Although Eve had talent and was creative, she was still a delinquent while in school, but she didn't let that stop her from graduating. She used her work as an outlet for all the negatives in her life, which is evident in her released albums.
This is not to say that she was a "good girl" -- far from it. Her mother's remarriage left Eve bitter, and she felt the need to escape, so she headed out to a strip club in the New York Bronx, where she had a brief stint as a strip dancer. Using the names Mystique, Cinnamon and Ginger, Eve was racking in the cash, and was keeping it a secret from her mother. Never happy or proud about her newfound career, she decided to give it up and give rapping a real try, after a conversation with Ma$e.
She finally got her break with the help of her friends, who tricked Aftermath Records' producer Dr. Dre into listening to her audition. They arranged a meeting with him, but Dre never knew Eve was coming to sing. When she showed up, they popped in a tape and Eve started rapping. Nevertheless, surprised or not, Dr. Dre liked what he saw, called her the next day, and invited her to come to California where they would record her demo. |
