Latifah became the first solo female rapper to receive a RIAA certification for an album (Black Reign), a commercial breakthrough that the AllMusic editor considered that created a path for “a talented crew of women rappers to make their own way onto the charts as the 90s progressed”. Her breakthrough also helped place New Jersey on the hip-hop map.
