At the time that she came to prominence, she was not only one of the originators, but she was also one of the few females in the industry.  She was one of the very few old-school acts to be taken on by a major record label after she released two singles with Buback record company.  She wrote her own lyrics, and worked independently.  Many pegged her as a rapper but she called herself a "hip hopper."  Despite this, she and another traditionalist group Advanced Chemistry insisted that rap and hip-hop are inseparable.  The social criticisms based on personal experience in her music link her to other Hip-Hop artists in Germany, such as Advanced Chemistry.  Her old school sound interested EMI; they signed her and another female artist, Tic Tac Toe.  She had success with the record company and her first single "Schlüsselkind" (Latchkey Kid) was a hit.
