Up Close and Personal (2001)

Angie Martinez
Reviewed by Tomika Anderson | Jun 15, 2001

Details Release Date: Apr 17, 2001; Lead Performance: Angie Martinez

Four years after rapping her way to a Grammy nomination with ''Ladies Night'' (featuring Lil' Kim and Missy Elliott), this New York City radio deejay releases her Latin-flavored hip-hop debut CD. Martinez opens up on the emotional ''Every Little Girl,'' and ''Coast 2 Coast'' with Wyclef Jean is catchy. But Up Close hosts more guests than a DJ Clue mix tape (Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z), making it anything but personal.
