Behind the Groove with Amanda Diva

One look at Amanda Diva's resume and you'll wonder if you're reading the work history of a mere mortal or that of a modern-day superwoman. Like many West Indians, she has numerous jobs and stays on her grind. Most recently she flexed her vocal chops and blessed us with the freEP Spandex, Rhymes & Soul, yet another testament to her limitless talent.

A saucy combination of beauty and brains, Diva always keeps it real and that is one of her most endearing qualities. During my conversation with her on this edition of Behind the Groove, she candidly addressed the sad state of affairs that is Hip Hop and the role of women in it and lets it be known that her future is bigger than Hip Hop. We discussed her time on Def Poetry Jam, her stint with Floetry and what we can expect next. Always evolving as an artist, there is no stopping this Diva.
