The verdict on Foxy Brown’s Brooklyn’s Don Diva? To quote Foxy Brown’s hard-hitting street number “We Don’t Surrender”, you could say the album “is what it is.” True, she was talking about the rumors that she had fallen in love with a pimp, but it’s wholly applicable to the latest installment in her discography.
Brooklyn’s Don Diva isn’t a stellar offering, but it’s not terrible either. Rumor has it that I might be enjoying the CD more than Foxy is, since there’s talk that she’s unhappy with the release and only intended it as a mixtape to hold us over until her true, official comeback. Maybe. You never know. But at least it serves notice that Inga “Foxy Brown” Marchand has returned from her extended hiatus following 2001’s Broken Silence. And you know what? It’s good to have her back, even if her comeback trail reveals a few bumps along the way.
