"My grandpa though, he's like, 'Get a job! What do you think you're doing? You need to go to college!' He doesn't understand -- I'm not made for the regular life. This is where I'm supposed to be."
--Sarai

| Sarai became the first white female rapper to sign with a major label, which resulted in her debut album, The Original (2003). She's also slated to appear alongside Paris Hilton in 2006's National Lampoon's Pledge This!. |
 |
| Sexy and super-confident, Sarai impresses us with her ambition and drive. We also appreciate how she infuses her music with social commentary from her own experience while keeping an overall upbeat tone. |

Sarai Howard was born in 1981, and grew up in Kingston, New York, a working-class city in upstate Ulster County. Sarai, along with her older brother Michael, was raised by her mother Teresa in a single-parent household. The family moved repeatedly, and Sarai attended many different local schools and held down dozens of part-time jobs.
Teresa's musical interests included The Police and Fleetwood Mac, and for a while, Sarai's taste in tunes mirrored her mother's. "I'm a straight MTV baby," Sarai later explained.
But it was Sarai's brother, more a fan of genre pioneers Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C. and NWA, who first introduced her to rap and hip-hop. Soon Sarai was into Jay-Z, Tupac and Notorious BIG. Meanwhile, by the time Sarai was in high school, she was acting in plays, singing in the choir, and writing poetry. |
