Conscious Daughter Interview @ Golden Gate Park
1/2 of the "Bay Area's" female MC group "Conscious Daughters", "Special One" was found dead in her apartment on December 10, 20011.
"Special One" was discovered in her apartment by Carla "CMG" Green, the other half of "Conscious Daughters". Her cause of death is still unknown.
The duo dropped three studio albums: "Ear to the Street" (1993), "Gamers" (1996) and "The Nutcracker Suite" (2009) and were pioneers not only as female mc's in the "Bay", but as rappers in the "Bay".
Born "Karryl Smith", "Special One" achieved world wide and "Bay Area" fame in 1993, when the group's debut reached No. 126 on the Billboard 200. The singles "Something To Ride To" (Fonky Expedition) and "We Roll Deep" were both hits, and the "Daughters" earned big credit for mixing street attitude with female empowerment.
"Special One" and "CMG" had been prepping songs for a fourth "Concious Daughters" album with a deal inked and distribution deal with Sony Red.
I hope "Special One" got some verses down, that can be used, and I hope the album is still album to be released as a tribute to her.
Our thoughts and our prayers go out to "Special Ones" family and friends, and thank you for being a rap pioneer for women and the "Bay".
