Foxy Brown's Broken Silence Album Anniversary

On July 17, 2001, Foxy Brown released her third solo album, Broken Silence, after a yearlong delay. The critically acclaimed record debuted at number five on the Billboard charts, selling more than 130,000 in its first week. The album was certified gold within thirty-five days, and sales would continue to grow; indeed, Broken Silence has sold nearly one million copies to date. Several songs on the album evinced a marked Caribbean influence, owing to Brown’s own Trinidadian heritage. Often weaving Caribbean patois into her rhymes, Foxy has made the reggae-inspired style one of her trademarks. Read more about Foxy Brown here.
