At a young age Ivy's parents moved to New York where she was raised. When she was in her teens, her parents returned to their hometown, A帽asco. Ivy went to school and graduated from high school.
When Ivy was 18, she moved to San Juan and met rapper and producer, DJ Negro. DJ Negro helped her and introduced her to a group called "Noise". With "Noise" she wrote and performed her first song "Somos Rapperos Pero No Delincuentes" (We're Rappers, Not Delincuents). Soon, DJ Negro convinced Ivy to go "solo" and in 1997, she made her debut with the recording of the album "En Mi Imperio" (In My Empire) for the Sony International Records label which sold over 100,000 copies. In the same year, Ivy traveled to Panama where she represented Puerto Rico in "The Battle of Rap". She also did some presentations in the Dominican Republic, which were all "sold out" and later that year, she participated in "The First National Festival of Rap and Reggae". There, Ivy was proclaimed the "Rap Singer of the Year". Also, in 1997, Ivy was awarded the "Artista '97" award, naming her "The Peoples Favorite Rap Singer", by Artista magazine.
In 1998, Ivy recorded her second album, for the Sony Label, titled "Original Rude Girl" which carried the following hit songs "Interlude in the Zone", "Que Sabes Tu" (What Do You Know?) and "The King and The Queen". It sold more than her first album and was highly acclaimed by her growing fan base.
Ivy's third album "Diva", was released in 2003. The songs were originally written by her and performed with the participation of various artists.
Ivy Queen's style does not include the crude language so common in that genre. Instead she focuses on her lyrics which contain positive messages for her generation. Ivy usually speaks in her songs about Puerto Rico and about the abuse that many women suffer.

Queen
Con filtro
Hey dot com ja ja ja
La de mo~ito.
Yo dale!
Quieres saber lo que se siente man
Cuando te miran solo saben el consuelo
Poco a poco pendejo muerden el ansuelo
Cada perra con su perro
Yo ando en el filtro dandole a todos su entierro
Se encabronan no pueden dormir
Porque en todas partes oyen a Ivy Queen
Dandole en su dosis en vivir
Swizz Beatz me bendijo con este ritmo
Pa sembrarselo mejor pa que sienta el corillo.
Cuando sientan el impacto de la perra
Sembrando guerra
Separando los caballos de la tierra
Saco mi arma boligrafo por mi plan yo voy.
Llevo once a~os comiendo grafilamienta
Y respeta cuando escuches tu mi nombre
No te asombres el amor de una mujer
Y se el amor de un hombre
Si quieres saber lo que se siente
Tirate pelao y chupa va a quedar sin dienetes.
Ivy Queen (hey)
Ivy Queen (dale)
Ivy Queen (con mis soldados)
Ivy Queen (eh eh mira mira).
Quieres saber lo que se siente
Lo que no creyeron a donde se fueron
Mira donde van buscando distribucion nivel nacional
LLegan mi rankeo no se da ganar mama.
Deja estar actuando como unos soblaos pelaos
A trabajar que trabajando con cojones y pelcone
Estos solitos son un desahogo
Si mal me desea me enojo y aqui me despojo.
