Three-time Grammy winner Mary J. Blige has been dubbed the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. Mixing urban style with soul, the outspoken artist has had a hit-filled career. She sang in her church choir at age 7 and, later, took solace in music during rough times in the Yonkers' (NY) projects. Blige cut her first demo in a mall and released her first album, 'What's the 411'—a play on the Directory Assistance operator job she held before becoming a singer—to critical acclaim. 'Growing Pains' is her eighth studio CD.
