Ms. Dynamite, born Niomi Arleen McLean-Daley on April 26, 1981, in London, England, is a British rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer who exploded onto the UK music scene in the early 2000s. She first gained major recognition for her powerful lyrical content and unique blend of R&B, hip-hop, and ragga. With a career that has been marked by a vocal commitment to social issues and a strong feminist stance, Ms. Dynamite has established herself as a thought-provoking and influential artist in the British urban music landscape.

Her debut album, "A Little Deeper" (2002), went on to critical acclaim—earning her the prestigious Mercury Prize, making her the first Black female artist to receive this accolade. The lead single, "Dy-Na-Mi-Tee", became an iconic track, showcasing her distinct flow and insightful lyrics. Although she took a step back from the spotlight to focus on her family, she has continued to impact the music world with her dynamic style. Her single "Neva Soft" (2011) reveals a matured, introspective artist who has not lost her edge, while her recent collaborations, such as "Dance Haffi Nice" with SHY FX and the SHY FX Remix of "Murder Music," hint at her lasting influence on the UK music scene and her ongoing ability to evolve her sound.
