They were a childlike, bass-obsessed duo called L'Trimm and were responsible for the kitchy Miami bass track still loved today, called "Bass That Goes Boom"--a tribute to subwoofers. If you're thinking, "Girls after my own heart!" then you're in for a treat, because the defunct duo is at least slightly reborn in rapper Lady Tigra coming back on the scene. Her new track with MC Lyte--"Stole My Radio"--is a chilly smooth comeback track, while "Bass On Thee Bottom" will no doubt be bangin' in clubland and backyard barbecues this summer.
The Lady Tigra is one half of the Miami bass duo L'Trimm, one of hip-hop’s earliest, sassiest, and most influential female duos. The girls busted out of the Miami bass movement and are best known for the deliriously catchy track, “Cars That Go Boom”, an ode to subwoofers. So it’s no surprise that her latest is another ode to the bottom end.
Signed to High Score records in 2006, her new album, Please Mr Boom Box, is a vivid mashing of styles that helped pioneer her career... a total continuation of the bouncy, infections confections she is known for. On her new album, the Lady Tigra instictively brings a cultural hybrid of sonic motifs and collaborated with long time hero MC Lytle. The result, Please Mr Boom Box, showcases her cool as a cucumber, deadpan flow which is brilliantly layered over minimal old-school production.
