Dana Elaine Owens, known professionally by her stage name Queen Latifah, is an American rapper, singer, and actress. She has received various accolades, including a Grammy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two NAACP Image Awards, in addition to a nomination for an Academy Award. In 2006, she became the first hip hop artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
At age 19, Latifah released her debut album All Hail the Queen, featuring the hit single "Ladies First". Her second album Nature of a Sista', was produced by Tommy Boy Records. Her third album, Black Reign, became the first album by a solo female rapper to receive a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, and spawned the single "U.N.I.T.Y.", which was influential in raising awareness of violence against women and the objectification of Black female sexuality. The track reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, and won a Grammy Award. Her fourth album Order in the Court, was released with Motown Records. She has since released the albums The Dana Owens Album, Trav'lin' Light, and Persona.
