Yoon Mi Rae, known as T, is the reigning queen of South Korean hip hop, despite being born in America. While she has been laying down beats for more than ten years, some of her current fame comes from her marriage to Tiger JK of renowned Korean hip-hop collective Drunken Tiger. She has well earned her own accolades, though, with impeccable vocal chops and microphone-killing rap skills she honed as part of the well-respected Korean hip-hop crew The Movement. Her first solo album came out in February 2007, and she won both Best R&B/Soul album and Best R&B/Soul song of 2008 at the Korean Music Awards. A follow-up album is reportedly in the works, but T has been keeping herself busy with youth violence prevention programs.
