Conversations With Caprice: Toni Monroe

I went to the MC Hammer concert the other night (yes, he still performs…I guess he’s too legit to quit 😉 ) and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was very impressed with an opening act who goes by the name of Toni Monroe.

The West Coast hip hop artist took the stage and she OWNED it. She didn’t need any hype men and her laidback yet hardcore flow kept me engaged.

Lady of Rage even mentioned Toni Monroe as one of her top 3 female MCs.

Toni Monroe will open for Lil’ Kim on June 13 at the Key Club:

I got to chat with Toni Monroe about the challenges of being a female hip hop artist, the interesting story in how her career started and more.
