Hailing from The Bronx, New York, Remy Ma was destined to be a star. Recalling back to the fateful day she made contact with the legendary Big Pun, while walking home from school, she ran into a family friend who told her that Terror Squad was looking for a female rapper. She was taken to meet Big Pun, where she captivated him with a non-stop two hour freestyle. From that day on, Remy never left his side. Fellow Terror Squad member, Prospect reminisces, "Pun was talking crazy about how dope Remy was. He was impressed, Pun was so approachable there were always people rapping for him, but none had the hunger that Remy had". Unfortunately, Pun passed in February of 2000, leaving Remy in a very awkward position where she was forced to make a way on her own. Every superstar will tell you that the journey to stardom wasn't easy, but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Remy Ma, determined to succeed, exploded onto the scene where she blew the hip-hop world away with her captivating lyrics and delivery when she showed up on the hit remix "Ante Up (Remix)" with M.O.P. featuring Busta Rhymes. As the "Ante Up (Remix)" grew from a hit to an anthem, Remy's celebrity increased and her buzz continued to grow. She continued to keep her name buzzing within industry circles by releasing her own mixtapes hosted by Hot 97's DJ Kay Slay, as well as doing numerous features with artists such as Fat Joe, D-Block, and the Diplomats to name a few. Success comes when preparation and opportunity meet, that's why when her fellow Terror Squadian, Fat Joe, called on her to complete the Terror Squad album True Story, Remy Ma was on a plane to Miami in one day. Nine days later, Remy returned to New York after co-writing a number of hits, most notably the smash of the year, "Lean Back".
