Inga “Nandi” Willis took time out today to remember and give thanks to Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes today, on the 15th anniversary of her passing.
“Nandi”, named after the African queen, was originally an MC who was signed to Left Eye Productions. Lisa offered her writing opportunities which helped her develop as an artist.
Left Eye offered Inga the opportunity to write her verse on the Donell Jones song “U Know What’s Up”, which became a number one smash all over the world and earned Inga her first check and plaque, putting her on the map!
