Her recording career began in 1989 with the song "Acknowledge Your Own History" from the
Jungle Brothers' 1989 album
Done by the Forces of Nature. It was the beginning of her association with the Native Tongues Posse — which would produce
De La Soul's 1991 hit "
A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"" — and continue with
A Tribe Called Quest and later with its second generation of
Mos Def,
Talib Kweli,
Hi-Tek and
Common. Mojica also made numerous appearances on
Heavy D's album ''Nuttin' But Love'' (1995) and his 1997 single "Water Bed Hev"; collaborated with the
French hip hop group
Alliance Ethnik in 1995 and 1998; and made guest appearances on albums by
Heltah Skeltah,
Rahzel, and
Pete Rock. Outside of hip hop, she has also recorded and performed with
Mary J. Blige,
Youssou N'Dour and
Arto Lindsay, as well as
downtempo artists like
Cibo Matto,
DJ Spinna, and, in 2005,
Jneiro Jarel. In 2002, Mojica collaborated with French
hip hop and
electro artist
DJ Mehdi (credited as Espion) on "Anything Is Possible", a track later remixed by Château Flight. She worked and toured with pianist
Andy Milne in his band as a lead vocalist. In 2003, Mojica finally released her debut single, "Guilt Junkie" (with the
B-side "Sands of Time"). ==Discography==
