Eve

Philadelphia native Eve Jihan Jeffers started out as part of a five-girl singing group before getting her big break in the world of rap, when she moved out to L.A. to meet Dr. Dre. Briefly signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath label, she recorded a demo tape including a song that made it to the Bulworth soundtrack. Calling herself Eve of Destruction, she then met DMX and joined Ruff Ryders Records, becoming the only female rapper on the label. Using the simple name Eve, she released two solo rap albums -- Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryder's First Lady... and Scorpion -- before making her first film appearance in a brief role as J.J. in XXX, a spy thriller whose title song she also composed. After releasing her third album, Eve-olution, she then appeared in the urban comedy Barbershop (starring Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer) as Terri, the only female member of a south-side Chicago barbershop. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
