In 2009, Billboard listed MГЅa as one of their Hot 100 Artists of the 2000s placing her in the 97th position. Harrison's contribution to music has earned her many accolades in the fields of pop and R&B music categories. She continued to appear in supporting roles in films such as Chicago (2002), Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004), Shall We Dance? (2004), and Cursed (2005).

In addition to a music career, Harrison crossed over into acting and made her feature-film debut in 1999's thriller In Too Deep starring LL Cool J and Omar Epps. The follow-up, TKO (The Knock Out), arrived in April 2018 to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of her debut album. In 2016, Harrison released her seventh album, the Grammy-nominated Smoove Jones. Beginning in 2014, she released a trio of R&B-rooted EPs, With Love (2014), Sweet XVI (2014), and Love Elevation Suite (2015). ДЄs an independent artist, Harrison continues to regularly release music. In between recording those two albums, she launched her own independent record label Planet 9 and competed in Dancing with the Stars вЂ“ season nine finishing in second place. Following a label change and a delay in her fourth studio album, Harrison went independent and recorded two exclusive albums for the Japanese music market, Sugar & Spice (2008) and K.I.S.S. The album produced the single ' My Love Is Like.Wo' and was certified gold by the RIAA. Taking a more active role in the production of her music, Harrison released her third studio album, the eccentric Moodring, in July 2003. Harrison continued her rise to prominence in 2002 when she won her first Grammy Award in the category for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for her rendition of Labelle's 1975 hit ' Lady Marmalade' along with Pink, Christina Aguilera and Lil' Kim, which topped the charts globally. Fear of Flying, her second album, was released in April 2000 and became a worldwide success, boosted by the success of its singles ' Case of the Ex' and ' Free'. Subsequent singles, ' Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)' and ' Take Me There', continued to raise her profile and attained chart success worldwide, with the former garnering her first Grammy nomination. A critical and commercial success, the album produced her first top ten single ' It's All About Me'. Signed in 1996 to Interscope Records, she released her eponymous debut album in April 1998. During her stint at BET, she developed an interest in music which lead to independent deal from the guidance of CEO Haqq Islam. Initially, MГЅa began her career as a VJ and dance posse member on BET's Teen Summit. Born into a musical family, she studied ballet, jazz, and tap dance as a child. Five years passed (during which she reportedly completed three albums' worth of material) before Badu put out her next studio album, 2008's New Amerykah.MГЅa Marie Harrison ( / Л€ m aЙЄ Й™/ born October 10, 1979), known by her stage name MГЅa, is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. Badu worked through the writer's block that followed by organizing the Frustrated Artist Tour and releasing EP Worldwide Underground in 2003. She followed her triple-platinum, Grammy-winning debut with a successful 1998 live album (which included the hit song 'Tyrone') and Mama's Gun, which Badu released in 2000 after taking some time off to raise the son she had with Outkast's Andre 3000. That show led to a record contract, collaborations with artists such as the Roots, and Baduizm, written almost entirely by Badu. Although her unflappable, purring vocals garnered well-deserved comparisons to the legendary Billie Holiday, Badu, who was born Erica Wright, got her start with some of today's hottest acts, beginning with D'Angelo, whom she opened for in her hometown of Dallas in 1994. Erykah Badu's sound echoes with strains of lush 1970s soul, cucumber-cool jazz and modern-day hip-hop - a blend that made her music a noteworthy standout in a sea of Xeroxed sound-alikes when Baduizm, her debut album, dropped in 1997.
