Eve Jihan Cooper (née Jeffers; born November 10, 1978), is an American rapper, singer, and actress. Her debut studio album, Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders' First Lady (1999), peaked atop the Billboard 200 (making her the third female rapper to do so), received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and spawned the singles "What Ya Want" (featuring Nokio), "Love Is Blind", and "Gotta Man". That same year, she guest appeared on the Roots' single "You Got Me", as well as Missy Elliott's single "Hot Boyz", both of which peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (the latter reaching number 5).
Eve's second and third studio albums, Scorpion (2001) and Eve-Olution (2002), were both met with continued commercial success. Their respective lead singles, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (featuring Gwen Stefani) and "Gangsta Lovin'" (featuring Alicia Keys), both peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100; the former won her the inaugural Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Her 2007 standalone single, "Tambourine" (featuring Swizz Beatz), also entered the Billboard Hot 100's top 40. After parting ways with Interscope Records, Eve released her fourth studio album, Lip Lock (2013), as her first independent project.
