BIOGRAPHYborn eve jihan jeffers on 10 november 1979, the future first lady of the ruff ryders spent her childhood as a philadelphia tomboy—a fact that would prepare her for her eventual role as the only female member of one of rap music's hottest outfits. teenage parents, eve's mother and father separated when she was only twelve, leaving her to be raised by her mother and grandmother; though eve had contact with her father after the separation, the two have not communicated since she turned eighteen. two years after their separation, eve's mother remarried and gave birth to eve's brother, farrod.
throughout her childhood, eve was a performer, earning recognition at school for writing short stories, plays and poems. she began rapping under the moniker gangsta—as part of the dancing/singing/rapping trio edgp—as a teenager. when the fickle group of teens split up after only a few performances, eve began the pursuit of a solo career, adopting the name eve of destruction. on her own, eve pursued her dreams with practicality and determination; through performances at local clubs, parties and talent competitions she earned recognition. eve had vowed that she would give up her pursuit of music if her dreams were not realized by the early age of twenty-one and a troubled youth threatened to keep her from ever reaching that goal. "i was a goddamn delinquent," a reflective eve explains, "i didn't even think i was going to graduate from high school." rather than allow poor grades, drug trafficking and the occasional relationship with a certified "gang-sta" halt her career, eve channeled her experiences into her work and only grew stronger.
