Ahead of her TV One UnSung premiere, Michel’le stopped by the studio with Romeo where she talked about everything from dating Suge Knight, the early years of NWA, working with Dr. Dre and much more.
Michel’le is without a doubt a female pioneer in West Coast hip-hop, having a long history with some of the Cali rap legends that we know today. Providing R&B vocals and connected with Death Row records, Michele’le detailed her experience working with producer Dr. Dre saying:
