Much of the acclaim granted to self-termed "alternative R&B" artist Muhsinah has come through featured vocal spots on albums by higher-profile musicians, although she has issued accomplished material on her own. A Washington, D.C. native who later moved to Brooklyn, she was classically trained as a pianist, studied music at Howard, and developed into a studio do-it-all. Her earliest notable appearances came on tracks by <a href="spotify:artist:5N44cGjDJUec21kDrVng8c" data-name="Stacy Epps">Stacy Epps</a>,<a href="spotify:artist:0s9MrSopEoAn8JqwBipgdO" data-name="Little Brother">Little Brother</a>, and Nicholas Ryan Gant. These arrived before Day.Break, a self-produced first album released digitally in 2007 (and on CD in 2008 as Day.Break 2.0). The year 2008 was big for her. She appeared on several recordings, including <a href="spotify:artist:60R4M19QBXvs0gO4IL6CpS" data-name="The Foreign Exchange">The Foreign Exchange</a>'s Leave It All Behind and <a href="spotify:artist:2GHclqNVjqGuiE5mA7BEoc" data-name="Common">Common</a>'s Universal Mind Control. "Daykeeper," one of the two <a href="spotify:artist:60R4M19QBXvs0gO4IL6CpS" data-name="The Foreign Exchange">The Foreign Exchange</a> songs on which she was featured, was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Urban/Alternative Performance, while the <a href="spotify:artist:2GHclqNVjqGuiE5mA7BEoc" data-name="Common">Common</a> album was later up for Best Rap Album. Through 2015, as Abdul-Karim regularly added to her list of collaborations with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:72tRiBHei5G9M8it4h4sfC" data-name="Oddisee">Oddisee</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:68P6JiHWJsv5VqfLPchS1n" data-name="Eric Lau">Eric Lau</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3bBn8Ok7sLFM6kWr72UQVk" data-name="Lil' John Roberts">Lil' John Roberts</a>, she released a handful of singles and EPs. At the start of 2016, she set about issuing a regular series of EPs, each volume named for its month of release. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
