"Where the starzz come to shyne!"
In a journey to shyne the light on some of the illest female rappers doing it, we had a
chance to make a stop in New Orleans to see what hot artists they had to offer and  we
ran into maybe one of the best lyricist that we've heard in a while. 3d Na'Tee, who hails
straight from Uptown New Orleans, just may be what the Hip Hop world has been waiting
for. From her confidence in her talent to the delivery in which she spits it, all we can say
is- This lady has ink.. So roll with Inkstarzz.com through the streets of New Orleans as
we kick it with Hip Hop artist, 3D Na'Tee


Inkstarzz.com: So what's up? What's going on with you?

3D Na'Tee: I'm good, I'm good. Grindin' it out!

Inkstarzz.com: What inspired you to start rapping?

3D Na'Tee: When I started rapping, I didn't start out to become a rapper. I just used rap as a form of ventilation. A
lot of things were going on in my life-dysfunctional home and stuff like that- so I used to just put it down on paper. I
didn't really just start taking it seriously until people around my neighborhood got wind of it and started telling me
that I was the s#!t wit it. So, I'm really not influenced by rapping. I'm more influenced by my surroundings.

Inkstarzz.com: So, being from New Orleans, do you think the artists stick together out there or do you
feel like it's a "Get it how you live" situation?

3D Na'Tee:  Down here in New Orleans, it's "Get it how you live". I mean, that's with everything from rap to whatever.
Just getting money, period, is "Get it how you live". There are a few artists that stick together but, for the most part,
it's just everybody for self down here. I think it really hurt us because, a lot of the cities that are really "on" right
now, they really stick together.

Inkstarzz.com: What do you think separates Na'Tee from other artists?

3D Na'Tee:  Besides being better than a lot of them?!

Inkstarzz.com: (Laughs)

3D Na'Tee: (Laughs) what separates me from the artists out now is my uniqueness. Nobody can be Na'Tee. Not on
no cocky or brag and boasting s#!t, each artist is unique within their self but I bring my own experiences to the table.
I bring what I've been through, where I come from. However, as far as the lyrics and s#!t, I think what sets me apart is
I don't really hold back what I need to say and how I put my s#!t together.

Inkstarzz.com: Has anybody ever tried to come at you with any diss songs or anything like that?

3D Na'Tee: You know what? Not really. I hear things on the streets or whatever but I
think b!%&hes know better and when I say b!%&hes, I aint just talking bout females. I
think these rappers know better.

Inkstarzz.com: If somebody ever did, would you respond to it or would you just
let it go?

3D Na'Tee: It all depends. I know music is an art form, so I look at it as that and I take all
criticism as constructive criticism. If somebody diss me, Imma listen to 'em. If they have
a valid point, Imma correct what I feel they sayin', but if they just reckless, Imma put 'em
in they place.

Inkstarzz.com: What was it like on your N.Y. trip when you visited 50 Cent and
Shade 45?

3D Na'Tee: It was crazy. I enjoyed N.Y. I went all over. I went to Brooklyn. I got to visit the Bronx. I did some lil footage
in the Bronx. I went to the MTV Fight Klub studios and recorded in the studio. It was real nice. I talked to a lot of
people out there who was interested in me moving, hopefully in the near future s#!t will be right with my situation. I
enjoyed N.Y.  a lot.

Inkstarzz.com: Name two major artists that you would like to work with, male and female.

3D Na'Tee: Lauryn Hill is one of my favorite female artists ever. Dead or alive, it probably would be [Notorious] Big.
The most popular, probably Jay-Z or somebody like that. I really just wanna work with any artist that really get it in
and have a passion for the music.

Inkstarzz.com: Where did the title, "Queen of the Solar System" come from?

3D Na'Tee:  Well, when I first set out to record my first mixtape, "3's Company" volume 1 and volume 2, my manager
was like- cus I just said what I was sayin' and I heard a lot of females saying "I'm the queen of the south", "queen of
the south"-and my manager was like "You way better than them, you might as well say you the queen of the south".
On one of the songs, I was sayin’, "Yeah, I'm the queen of the south" just joking around, playin' wit it. Then people
started sayin’, "You are the queen of the south". Then, I just wanted to put myself in a different category, so that's
when "Queen of the Solar System" came and it kinda stuck.

Inkstarzz.com: Why do you feel that there aren't any female artists in the forefront of Hip Hop right now?
Do you think there's a chance that females could dominate Hip Hop one day?

3D Na'Tee: I definitely feel they will. Imma dominate Hip Hop one day, so of course
there's a chance, Imma say out in the future. The reason why I think that females now
are not in the forefront is because the females that I looked up to, like [Lil] Kim, Foxy
[Brown], Remy, I think a lot of the females let their personal lives overshadow the music,
overshadow the business dealings. So, people were no longer interested in music, they
wanted to see if they were talking about how many times Lil Kim f%&ked her face up or
talking about Foxy being deaf. They didn't wanna hear the new s#!t no more. That’s
why I focus on my music and make sure I get the music out there. Of course you can be
interested in my life cus I had a hard life and whatever, but the music is always gonna
be the first thing for me.

Inkstarzz.com: I saw the "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" video where you
mentioned those artists. What was the public's reaction to that song?

3D Na'Tee: I got a real good response from it. The negativity I received from it, people who didn't like the video or
didn't like the song, they kinda got it a lil f%&ked up. They thought it was a diss record and that song, "Guess Who's
Coming to Dinner" was in no way, shape or form a diss record. The way I see it, it was more like an informative
record. Like I said, I looked up to Kim, Foxy, I liked Remy's music. I liked a lot of those female artists and I just felt
that they let a lot of the shit that they was going through at the time overshadow what was going on with the music.
So I was just sayin' get yo s#!t together cus that makes the female coming out, an aspiring female artists like myself,
they make us look bad and in a different light. When we go to the labels tryna get signed,  I always get "You might be
hard to work with", "I aint really looking for a female right now because of  this and this and that and that." because
of females that came before me. That's what that song was about. So the negativity that I got, f%&k it. I got a real big
response they sent me out to G-Unit and that was great. All of that happened off that one song.

























Inkstarzz.com: If you could use one word to describe your flow, what would it be?

3D Na'Tee: Immaculate

Inkstarzz.com: What can we expect in the future from Natee?

3D Na'Tee:  As of now, I'm working on a project with my DJ, who's down here in New Orleans. I got a couple features
down here in the works, so we got a mixtape coming out. I also was featured on a mixtape with Ms. Mimi, she's a DJ
out there on Shade 45. I'm working on another mixtape right now, I don't have a title for it but hopefully it's gonna
drop at the end of the summer. Also, some things that I may not be able to speak about but it might be something big.
