Needs no Introduction...  Strings (born Marinna Teal) struck a chord with "Tongue Song". In the racy response rap, Strings details "what men need to do with what's in the thong."The song has generated East Coast radio play and reached #13 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles chart July 20.  As a girl, Strings sang in the choir of a Chicago South Side church and won talent-show prizes, but she put her rap aspirations on hold when she became pregnant at 13. She moved to Oklahoma, where she became an exotic dancer to support her daughter, who is now 10 years of age. After a chance meeting with R. Kelly and two impromptu auditions, she signed to the R&B singer's label. She then rapped on the remix to R. Kelly's "Gotham City" from the 1997 "Batman and Robin" soundtrack, and "Vegas" on R&B singer Sparkle's 1998 self-titled album. Strings split with R. Kelly's label when it failed to release a solo project she recorded. She landed a deal with Keith Sweat's label in 1998, the year she recorded most of the songs for Black Widow. In the meantime, Strings said, she has improved her craft and evolved her style so much that it's frustrating to hear the album's tracks. Strings split with R.
