Remy Ma

Reminisce Kioni Smith, known professionally as Remy Ma, is an American rapper. Discovered by the late rapper Big Pun, she came to prominence for her work as a member of Fat Joe's group, Terror Squad.

Big Pun's discovery of Remy Ma in the early 2000s cemented her Bronx credentials before Fat Joe brought her into Terror Squad's fold, where she became the crew's most formidable voice across albums like *There's Something About Remy: Based on a True Story*. Her career trajectory mirrors hip-hop's brutal honesty—a decade of solid work suddenly crystallized into cultural moment when she detonated *ShETHER* in 2017, a diss track so surgically precise it temporarily destabilized Nicki Minaj's commercial momentum and reminded the industry that technical lyricism still held currency.
