THE LADYBUG
A
decade after securing her place as a member of Hip-Hop
Royalty, Mecca: the Ladybug is making her way back
to the limelight spiritually grounded and domestically
satisfied. Her life and sound have evolved through
her experiences since leaving the Grammy
Award-winning Digable Planets: the group
that made her one of hip-hop’s most distinct
female voices.
According to Ladybug, her new self-titled album,
LADYBUG MECCA, was inspired by “…being
me, the rhythm, being poetic, the weather, love,
the innocence of children, wisdom of elders, experiences,
sex, attraction, fantasy… it’s endless
really. I could go on and on.” It’s
a mature musical statement armed with the philosophy,
spiritual awareness and a solid sense of self.
Looking back at her militant past, Ladybug says,
“I was always conscious, but I was still limiting
myself. I was dealing with a revolution in a physical
sense, and not in a mental sense. It’s not
gonna happen that way.” Her goal was
not to recreate the glory of the past, but to move
into a new sense of musical-freedom, something very
worldly.
For Ladybug, this is an almost literal reincarnation.
It is powerful and self-actualized. She says, “I
am really kind of still getting to know my power.
At this point, it’s full throttle.”
