Marsha Ambrosius: The Flow Goes On [Interview - HipHopDX]

Grammy-nominated repeatedly from 2003 to 2006, Floetry were a soulful R&B duo out of London comprised of poet Natalie Stewart and songstress Marsha Ambrosius. “Butterflies” – an Ambrosius-penned song from their debut album – caught the ear of Michael Jackson who immediately commissioned a version of the song for himself; a Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hit that featured on his Invincible album in 2001.

From then onwards Ambrosius found herself collaborating with the likes of The Game, Justin Timberlake, Styles P, Busta Rhymes, Nas, OutKast, Glenn Lewis and Alicia Keys.

Floetry broke up in 2007 when Stewart dramatically exited the group, leaving Ambrosius with a tour to complete and no band-mate. Poet, emcee and personality Amanda Diva was called in to complete the line-up, much to the horror of ‘die-hard’ Floetry fans expecting to see Stewart. Later in the same year, Ambrosius released her first solo mixtape amidst rumors of being signed to Dr Dre’s Aftermath label. This is all addressed, in more in HipHopDX’s exclusive interview.
