Ursula Rucker – Biography
Ursula Rucker isn’t a funky diva, she’s her own diva. Having collaborated with some of music’s most sophisticated, including the Silent Poets, King Britt, Josh Wink, the Roots, Rucker has honed her seductive spoken wordplay inside Philly Soul, Hip-Hop, and New Jazz. She combines social awareness with womanhood, black culture, and love for something musically alluring.
A graduate of Temple’s journalism school, Rucker made her poetic debut in 1994 at Philly’s celebrated, Zanzibar Blue. From there, she proved her smart and sultry bravado without frills.
The late ’90s illustrated her abrasive poetic nature inside cuts like Josh Wink’s “Sixth Sense” and 4 Hero’s “Loveless.” Supa Sista, Rucker’s debut album showcasing a street-fighting spirit, was issued in September 2001 on K7.
