Legendary West Coast MC Sylk-E Fyne joins Coline for a revealing walk down memory lane in this week's episode of Eating While Broke. The freestyle queen takes us back to her early days hustling the LA scene and fateful voicemail that landed her Ruthless record deal with hip hop icon Eazy-E.

Sylk gives an all-access pass to coming up under the NWA founder's wing, alongside giants like Snoop and Tupac, and struggling to breakthrough as a hardcore female rapper. But it wasn't all glitz and plaques. Hear the unbelievable story of how Sylk's smash Billboard hit was ruthlessly ripped off, a cautionary tale for artists.

As her rollercoaster career comes full circle, the hip hop feminist OG keeps it real about double standards for women, losing loved ones to the streets, and fighting to regain her power.

Join these dynamic women as Sylk-E Fyne reveals the ups and downs of her legendary run - from fancy meals with moguls to literally eating while broke. With enduring artistry and resilience, she proves why the Queen of Freestyle remains West Coast royalty. Old school hip hop heads won't want to miss this glimpse inside the game from a true pioneer.
