Lady Therile (Takeysha Bey), was born in Camden, New Jersey and inspired by such major artists as MC Lyte, Queen Latifah & Missy Elliot. At an influential age, she was a member of DAT’z IT (a three member rap group) based in DC. The group recorded a 3-song demo, which their management presented to and garnered interest from Bad Boy Records.
Under the stage name/acronym Hard 2 Hitt, Lady Therile performed at various Hip Hop clubs, open microphone and showcases throughout the DC and Maryland area. After one of the members of the group departed for college. The remaining two members (Hard 2 Hitt & Kidd) continued with the groups musical endeavors. Eventually, due to hard trials and creative differences, the two remaining members decided to disband the group all together.
As a solo artist, Lady Therile was introduced to R&B producer Alan Palmer, head of Wire for Sound Records in Landover, Maryland, to possibly sign and record an album. After recording two professional tracks for her solo album, Alan Palmer decided to recommended her to his Hip Hop partner – Big Poppa Nard of Ruff Rhyme Records, (finally taking on the name “Lady Therile”) and began the production of her first solo LP, “Therile Justice."
In the end, creative differences took their toll with Ruff Rhyme Records. She finally parted ways with the label, still keeping in close contact with her former colleagues. Lady Therile has now found the proper freedom and drive she was looking for with nXphase Records; with this new found inspiration, she plans to take her musical love to a whole new level.
