Jennifer Esmerelda Hylton, known professionally as Foxy Brown, is a Jamaican reggae singer. Her first introduction to the reggae charts was via the Steely & Clevie-produced versions of Tracy Chapman's "(Sorry) Baby, Can I Hold You Tonight" and "Fast Car," the former even entering Billboard's Black Singles Chart.[1] These led to her being regarded as Jamaica's Tracy Chapman.[1] She released her debut album Foxy, in 1989, which showcased her original songwriting.[1] In 1990 she had a hit with the dancehall single "Always For Me", and a second album, My Kind of Girl, followed in the same year.
