La Chat Snags Female Artist Of The Year Award

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Oarfin Records) - Memphis rapper La Chat was recently named Female Artist Of The Year at the Tennessee Hip Hop Awards, which was held September 6th and 7th in Nashville. This award comes following the release of her fifth full-length solo album, 'Da Hood Homegirl,' released in July 2008.

'Da Hood Homegirl' was released through La Chat's own label, Dime A Dozen Entertainment, and features artists such as Pastor Troy, Gangsta 'Lady' Boo, T-Rock, Criminal Manne, Yung Kee, Murphy Lee and others, with production by K-Dubb, Lil Lody and Memphis legend D.J. Squeeky.

La Chat originally found success with the group Three 6 Mafia, but her first breakthrough came in 2001 after her collaboration with Project Pat, 'Chickenhead,' got national airplay and quickly went platinum. After this success, La Chat decided to try the solo route and released her debut album, 'Murder She Spoke,' which went on to sell over 200,000 copies.

Being born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, La Chat stays true to her roots by rapping about things such as the ghetto, drug dealing, and being a single mother. The combination of her interest in music and pride in her upbringing continue to help La Chat have a style that is all her own.
