On Yesterday, the Hip-Hop world was rocked by the death of the 1st Lady of BDP(Boogie Down Productions), Ramona Parker, best known as Ms.Melodie. Ms Melodie had success with her first single in 1988 called “Hype According to Ms. Melodie” she released one album, Diva in 1989. Ms Melodie made an appearance on the 1989 single “Self Destruction” Ms Melodie was the ex-wife of Rapper KRS-One, the two of them along with Scott La Rock, D-Nice & the rest of the BDP crew helped to lay the foundation of hip-hop. 
The BDP crew and their contribution will always be an indelible part of hip-hip history. Rest In Paradise Ms Melodie. The Neo Soul Cafe Family offers its sincerest condolences to the family and friends of this Hip-Hop Pioneer and Legend.
