The Real Roxanne

Following the massive success of U.T.F.O.'s "Roxanne, Roxanne" single in late 1984 and early 1985, over 100 answer records appeared, and several female rappers adopted the Roxanne alias; the Real Roxanne (born Adelaida Martinez) was perhaps the most talented of the bunch and really only had to contend with <a href="spotify:artist:3r7n7y3j0nYgkPePO4p3QC" data-name="Roxanne Shante">Roxanne Shante</a> for the title. In 1988, she released her self-titled debut album on Select Records. The self-titled release packed a wallop thanks to producers Jam Master Jay, <a href="spotify:artist:0QvOE5fpmcOxyhxXtdEmC0" data-name="Hitman Howie Tee">Hitman Howie Tee</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1iQS32l0NPcZeJKVrvayS2" data-name="Full Force">Full Force</a>, plus the Real Roxanne's own forceful, sassy personality. In 1992, she released her second full-length album, Go Down (But Don't Bite It.)
