Though most know her now as the wifey of Atlanta hip hop superstar, T.I., we must not forget the impact her solo career as a singer and writer has affected hip hop, rnb & pop culture. Tiny was formerly a member of the multi-platinum selling rnb female group, Xscape. The group was discovered by then up and coming producer and label-head, Jermaine Dupri. They were signed to SoSo Def recordings. The group's three albums all when platinum, but in 1998 the group parted ways.
So you thought Tiny fell off the map after that, huh? Well a year later, Ms. Cottle and former groupmate Kandi Burress won a Grammy award for writing TLC's major hit, 'No Scrubs' (hello!?!!). She won more awards for that track and even an ASCAP award for the response track "No Pigeonz."
Don't sleep on Ms. Cottle. Many don't know of the success she continues to achieve because of her past nd present endeavors. She is now working with the OMG Girls while she is hot off a run from her reality series, Tiny & Toya, one of the highest rated BET television shows. Respect!
I found the cassette for Xscapes debut album, "Hummin' Comin' At'cha" while doing some cleaning. Check out the cassette insert & Tiny's thanks. After the jump. Hi res at gallery
