Her name is sometimes spelled Bo$$.
Laws relocated to Los Angeles after graduating high school. Laws was spotted by DJ Quik who stuck her on a track with AMG. Russell Simmons liked the track and promptly signed her to Def Jam West.[1] Her debut album Born Gangstaz was released in 1993,[2] and the singles, "Deeper" and "Recipe for a Hoe", hit number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart.[3]
Laws' fledgling career took a major blow in 1994 when she interviewed with a reporter from The Wall Street Journal. The reporter thought he revealed that she grew up in an upper middle-class family and attended private school.[4][5] Rumors later stated she was dropped from the label for revealing she was from the middle class.[citation needed] As it turned out, the reporter did not listen to the album before interviewing the artist. Further, Laws had left Detroit after high school to pursue a contract in New York, which brought on a hard survivalist mentality by the time she settled in Los Angeles. Def Jam was well aware of her background when she was signed, and she was never dropped from the label.
In the mid-1990s, she moved to Dallas, Texas, and went on to be a radio DJ. In 2001, she collaborated with Krayzie Bone on his album Thug On Da Line. In 2004, she released a mixtape titled The Six Million Dollar Mixtape produced by Def Jef.[citation needed]
It was revealed in May 2011 that Laws is in need of a kidney due to her suffering from renal disease, a disease which rendered her kidneys useless for processing toxins in her body. Laws reached out to the FaceBook community for a potential donor. A donor is yet to be found.[6]

Travelin'
B.O.S.S. Lyrics
飛んで走って 町から町へ
たまるのは思い出 疲れとマイレージ
道があるなら いこうじゃないか
恐い気持ちよりも 恐いもの見たさ
やっと来たんだよ 会いたかったんです
行ったり来たりの 珍道中ライフ
いつまで続くの この感じ
そうはいってもきらいじゃないよ
ホットな出会いを知ってるかい?
われら あくなきトラベリンメン
生きてりゃ それなりのアクシデンツ
起こるのは当たり前 忘れちゃダメ
期待なんてしないけれど けっして
あきらめてもいないよ それは知っといて
いろんな場面を目撃したいな
のぼり下りの ローラーコースターライフ
好かれたと思いきや嫌われる
いらぬ不安なら ふきとばそう
今日もはじけましょ 一夜の夢
みんな こりないトラベリンメン
今 僕らが見つめあう この時は戻らない
今 僕らが語りあう その言葉はもう消えない
明日を生きる力が 今ここで生まれるよ
今 ここで生まれるよ
たまるのは思い出 疲れとマイレージ
道があるなら いこうじゃないか
恐い気持ちよりも 恐いもの見たさ
やっと来たんだよ 会いたかったんです
行ったり来たりの 珍道中ライフ
いつまで続くの この感じ
そうはいってもきらいじゃないよ
われら あくなきトラベリンメン
生きてりゃ それなりのアクシデンツ
起こるのは当たり前 忘れちゃダメ
期待なんてしないけれど けっして
あきらめてもいないよ それは知っといて
いろんな場面を目撃したいな
のぼり下りの ローラーコースターライフ
好かれたと思いきや嫌われる
いらぬ不安なら ふきとばそう
今日もはじけましょ 一夜の夢
みんな こりないトラベリンメン
今 僕らが見つめあう この時は戻らない
今 僕らが語りあう その言葉はもう消えない
明日を生きる力が 今ここで生まれるよ
今 ここで生まれるよ
