### 1997: ''Simply Weird''
Efu ódò  1996, Idowu mu dakubí wa ojiane únyí ñwu ugbo kí chí òdaa ñwu dudufu ya í  album *Simply Weird* - a blend ye í American hip hop kpai  afrobeat - and featured the self-produced video-single "Allen Avenue", making her the first Nigerian artist to release a song via that medium. Although *Simply Weird* has been described as the first ever full-length hip hop album, this milestone had been reached nearly a decade earlier by Nigerian-American band Sound on Sound with the album *From Africa From Scratch*, and Pidgin rap duo Junior and Pretty were also a household name in the early nineties. Despite the popularity of "Allen Avenue", *Simply Weird* failed to sell an impressive number of copies; critics agreed that it was ahead of its time. However, Idowu was honoured with several awards, including the very first AMEN award for Best Hip Hop Album.

### 2006: ''After the Storm''
In 2006, Idowu released her second album, *After Da Storm*. Hip hop was now recognised as a major form of music in Nigeria, and the Don Jazzy and JJC-produced single "Ijoya" was a massive success, earning her an AMEN award for Most Pop Song, and a Channel O Music Video Award for *Best Special Effect*.

## Other work
Apart from being a solo artiste, Idowu has collaborated with other artists including Femi Kuti and close friend Kween, and in 2010 she was the last woman remaining in the celebrity version of reality show *Gulder Ultimate Search*. In various interviews she has spoken of how she was discriminated against by her male counterparts in Nigeria's hip-hop industry, and has criticised its females rappers for not persevering in order to earn their place in the music industry.
