1) Boss (born as Lichelle Laws, 1969-2014) was a female gangsta rapper whose debut album Born Gangstaz released in 1993 propelled her to one of the most successful female rappers of that time. Her name is sometimes spelled Bo$$.
Boss was first a duo, with Laws as Boss the rapper and her friend Irene Moore as her DJ, Dee. Laws and Moore 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. Their debut album Born Gangstaz was released in 1993, and the single "Deeper" hit #1 on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks. The next single "Recipe for a Hoe" also hit #1 on the Rap Tracks chart.
2) Boss is an American female rap artist / singer / videographer & director that was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. BOSS's introduction to music began at a very early age, being the niece of Motown writers and vocalistsโ Brenda & Michael Sutton. Her aunt & uncle penned hits for Smokey Robinson ["There Will Come a Day (I'm Gonna Happen to You)"], Cheryl Lynn ("Shake It Up Tonight"), a young Michael Jackson ("Cinderella Stay Awhile") . Most recently, Texas rapper Scarface with special guests Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel sampled The Original track' "Sunrise" (yet another song that her uncle Michael Sutton (co-penned) for the Source Award-winning hip hop hit, "Guess Who's Back.ย These accomplishments by her relatives inspired her to push hard towards her dream of being an accomplished artist, video / music producer, videographer & music executive herself. BOSS spent a lot of time with her aunt and uncle in their recording studio surrounded by the sounds of music and the strict writing and vocal training sessions that were held by her aunt Brenda, always exposed & dreaming of one day working in the music industry. Thanks to her Aunt & Uncle, along with the help of GOD & her church choir BOSS received her foundation as a musical artist in her youth. During her teen years growing up in Los Angeles she became an intern for the nations 1st all rap radio station, KDAY.ย
In 1991/1992 BOSS worked as a personal assistant to Nate Dogg of Death Row. As she and Nate became close over the years, he also began to assist in BOSS in her vocal training. This unique training molded her ORIGINAL sultry sound into what it is today!
After trying to break into the music industry as a singer, writer and arranger she finally got the courage to take the reins and start learning to engineer her own recording sessions & produce tracks for her herself. In 1993, BOSS relocated to Texarkana and was given a job by her uncle Ray Bursey @ her family's radio broadcasting station KZRB 1035 FM.ย She took on a position in Sales/Marketing and Promotions but never let go of her dream to produce and become an artist herself. She became one of the stations top radio personalities as a street scene reporter. After some time behind a desk she became board and decided it was time to try her hand once again at her first love, which was to actually be an artist herself. Only now there was a big difference, she had the knowledge of executive assistance, radio, promotions, marketing, public relations, publishing and music production under her belt.ย
Taking all of the moving capitol she had accumulated during her time at the family station and invested in her own Mass Media & Marketing Company (Bossy Inc.) Slowly but surely, she began to promote, produce and represent clients outside of her family's radio station, which gave her more flexibility when it came to the other Artists. She also used this gateway to introduce her own style of artistry to the world. ย
ย She then ventured deeper into the south to Houston, Texas. It was there that she met her now longtime friend Luscious Ice, one of the DJ's for Houston's 99.7 The Boxx, who in turn introduced her to her mentor/ close friend, Big H.A.W.K. of The Original Screwed Up Click (R.I.P.) who took BOSS under his wing as his Exec. Assist., taught her the one of a kind Houston, Texas Style of industry grind and introduced her to all of Houston's elite in the music industry. ย Wes Monroe (Momma Wes) of UGK Records also became her mentor and began to teach BOSS the industry game as she knew it. This tactic led to the business union of her student BOSS & her son Chad " Pimp C " Butler of UGK. ย With their assistance & Big H.A.W.K.'S blessing,ย Boss began to thrive as a force to be reckoned with as far as female rap artists are concerned. BOSS has a huge passion for acting and I love being in front of the camera. She is currently auditioning for movie roles, commercials & being booked for modeling photo shoots.
"Image and self- acceptance is something that I struggled with as a teen. Lucky enough, I was surrounded by people who have given me great advice to better myself inside & out! My goal is to represent as a woman who has also experienced these concerns as a youth and reach out to young people who are trying to cope with self -love. Each day I remain excited about my choice to expand my horizons, work with new people and most of all to see where my road in the industry will lead to." - BOSS

I'm out here on the cut smokin' bud with Macaroni
Instead of us servin' niggas this fucka's tryin' to bone me
But I ain't trying to hear this Bitch made elf

Cause I don't fuck around with the help bastard!
If it wasn't for the dope that we got stashed in the casket

While I be countin' crispy ass dollars

And takin a sip of his favorite drink
At the grave as I stare through the shade

Elimination
The lyrics in Boss's song "Progress of Elimination" are filled with personal struggles of a woman who is trying to make it big in the world of business. She suggests in the song that she has encountered several obstacles that almost deterred her from her desired goal. The main theme of the song is the idea that the only way to progress is by eliminating and solving problems as they arise. Boss's ferocious energy and aggressive delivery create a confrontational aura that feels emboldening in the face of such adversity. Boss sings about running away from dead bodies and becoming a slave. She also gets into other gritty topics such as eliminating the competition ruthlessly, the danger of drug dealing and the struggle to make ends meet. The song delivers a sense of personal strength, as Boss refuses to let her competition hold her back, and instead continues to push through them. Boss wants to achieve something and she will do anything to get there.

IHaveTheSoftestTouch (My Spiritual Harvest)
As there have been many outstanding ladies of rap, WITHOUT A DOUBT, Boss is number one. Boss's lyrics and even the beats can be played today and knock every female rapper operating today out the box because her lyrics where real and not gimmicky....where the beat is carrying the lyrics, but her lyrics could stand alone and demand the beat to follow her lyrics. It would be interesting to see her step back into the rap community.
IHaveTheSoftestTouch (My Spiritual Harvest)
@Devenche Frett It's pretty easy to fake anything if one is solely or mostly motivated by money. And yes, it's messed up that at that time and now, the BS is want gets pushed the most as that wants also entertaining a large group of people. As far as Boss being found out, she wasn't found out, she literally but a voicemail call on one of her records from her mother who mentions she was from Baldwin Hills went to college, etc. However, it may be considered that she earned her stripes after she and her homegirl left Baldwin Hills, and found themselves homeless in the hood, dressing boyish to keep from getting rapped, etc., as the story was told.
Devenche Frett
@IHaveTheSoftestTouch (My Spiritual Harvest) that was deep my sister , I definitely caught what you are throwing about your lyrics promoting thought in what I'm imagining is an somewhere hostile environment in Bmore..so with saying all of that ,you know that it is pretty easy to talk about shooting, selling , holding pistols and calling people soft and promoting being hard (easy work) and how messed up it is for someone who's not from that (Boss from Baldwin hills) to promote that to sell to those that are from that and those who are not from that...she should have went to Hollywood with her skills..but I digress cause in the end her pump faking was found out ๐ค
IHaveTheSoftestTouch (My Spiritual Harvest)
@Devenche Frett She was quite lyrical in my observation, however, if she didn't write those lyrics, as with today's rappers, she delivered them well. Also, one is not required to rap about where they are from. Years of writing myself, I never referenced Bmore, as my lyrics were about reppin' a hood, they were to promote thought.
D B
@Devenche Frett your comment is dumb.. She rapped gangsta shit better than many of her male counterparts. This was the persona she choose to run with so cut the hypotheticals.
