Brianna Perry (born January 11, 1992), also known as Lil' Brianna, is
an American rapper and actress from Miami-Dade County, Florida. She
was the youngest act signed to Missy Elliott's label The Goldmind Inc.
as well as the youngest to be affiliated with Slip-N-Slide Records,
home to rappers Trina and Rick Ross. Perry made her debut on Trina's
album Diamond Princess on the track "Kandi". Since then, she has
released several mixtapes and starred as a regular cast-member on the
reality-television series Sisterhood of Hip Hop. In 2016, Brianna left
major label Atlantic Records due to low promotion and moved forward
with her indie label Poe Boy Entertainment.At the age of 7, under the
supervision of her uncles, Brianna Perry made her first recording at
the Poe Boy Music Group studios. Her frequent visits to the studio
would accumulate the attention of rappers Trina and Trick Daddy, the
former who would grant Perry a recording deal with Diva Records (Diva
Enterprises/DP Entertainment). From there, Perry guest starred on
BET's Rap City and made her rapping debut on Trina's Diamond Princess
on the track "Kandi", which would attract the attention of Missy
Elliott. Elliott would go on to sign Perry to her label, The Goldmind
Inc., and feature the young rapper in various promotional concerts
with her and Timbaland. Additionally, Perry would also make cameo
appearances in a few of Elliott's work such as the music video to
"Pass That Dutch" and her short-lived reality series, The Road to
Stardom with Missy Elliott. In between cameo work, Perry would work
extensively on an untitled debut album which tentatively comprised
forty tracks and sole production from Elliott and Timbaland; however,
the project was never released. In 2006, due to creative differences,
Perry parted ways with Elliott on good terms.In 2007, Perry readied a
mixtape, Princess of Miami, with Slip-N-Slide recording affiliates and
former mentor Missy Elliott. In 2008, Perry announced work on a debut
album tentatively titled Girl Talk, alongside a film project with
Malcolm in the Middle actor Frankie Muniz, however neither project was
released. In 2009, Perry was shuffled to Flo Rida's label
International Music Group, where she materialized a mixtape, The
Graduation, and an underground single, "Boom Shacka", that failed to
serve as a commercial release.In 2011, Perry departed from Flo Rida's
camp and went on to do further work with longtime family label, Poe
Boy Music Group. That same year, Perry released the single, "Fly
Kicks", alongside an accompanying music video. Its visual premiere on
BET's 106 & Park would earn her a contract deal with Atlantic Records,
and accumulate enough buzz to compose the mixtape Face Off. On
December 20, 2011, Perry released the single "Marilyn Monroe", which
featured production by frequent Missy Elliott co-producer, Cainon
Lamb. The song would generally meet favorable reception from musical
peers like Beyoncé, who featured the song on her official website. In
2012, Perry collaborated with SWV ("Do Ya"), Pusha T ("Red Cup"), and
Victoria Monet ("Hate Ya Past"); the latter being featured on Perry's
mixtape, Symphony No. 9: The B Collection. Additionally, Perry would
go on to collaborate with Trina on a visual titled "Girl Talk".
