She is known for her solo work as well as numerous collaborations and a brief stint as part of hip-hop supergroup The Firm. Brown has faced many obstacles during her rise to fame, including feuds with other rappers, personal tragedy and run-ins with the law, thus being labeled as one of the more controversial female rappers. She has released four solo albums: 1996's Ill Na Na, 1999's Chyna Doll, 2001's Broken Silence, 2003's Ill Na Na 2: The Fever and 2008's Brooklyn's Don Diva. After a bitter split with her record label Def Jam in 2003, Brown ended up in label limbo. In 2004, childhood friend and collaborator Jay-Z resigned Brown to Def Jam and his Rocafella Records label, when he became the President of Def Jam Records. Foxy later split with Def Jam once again to go independent with Black Hand Management.

In 1999, Foxy Brown made history as the first female rapper to have a number 1 album with Chyna Doll selling over 173,000 copies in the first week.

In 2005, while in the midst of recording her studio album Black Roses, Brown faced another hardship when she was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. The hearing impairment took 100% of Brown's hearing, but 20% was restored after an operation to repair it. After her fifth surgery Foxy regained 99.9% of her hearing.

Following a relatively quiet career period which coincided with an eight month jail sentence in 2008, Foxy continued to record the long in-progress Black Roses with a projected release date of late 2010. Ultimately, Black Roses was never released.

In 2018, after years of hiatus, Brown was a featured artist on Nicki Minaj's fourth studio album Queen on the track "Coco Chanel".

It's the beginning of something significant

Put ya bet off
Place your bets elsewhere

Changing and adapting since '98

With the shit that I'm bringin
With the style of music I'm introducing

Face off
Confrontation

Bring the safes I'm about to blaze one
Bring the safes I'm about to steal from them

Like me BK dogs
Like my loyal companions from Brooklyn

Oh Tre ones
Oh my close allies

Strike ya match
Ignite the flame

We stike it right back
We retaliate effectively

It ain't personal
It's not personal

But if you want to take it like that
But if you choose to perceive it that way

Fuck it
Forget it

I allways loved the way Fox sounds. And I kind of dig those lines about gay chicks, even thoe that is getting popular in music these days. It's every woman own bidness. And is OK, but in music I mean she was right to point it out like this. I can dig that

Let's not sit up here and act like the biggest names in female hip hop, didn't have ghost writers. Because Kane ghost wrote for Shante, Biggie ghost wrote for Kim, Jay ghost wrote for Fox, LL ghost wrote for Lyte, on Lyte's Self Destruction verse, and on Latifah's track, "Callin Out Names", Treach ghost wrote for Latifah. So with that being said, shout out to Rage, Rah Diggah, Monie B, Sa Rock, and Lauryn, who wrote their own shit.

When it comes to diss records, the main thing is to MAKE IT HURT. Do everything in your power to DESTROY them. Let's say this song was aimed at YOU. Obviously, the slurs have you offended. So what would you do about it? Would you a) go on social media to whine about homophobia, or b) get on the mic and fire back? Thankfully, Latifah (one of Foxy's targets) chose the latter...and won.
