Lil Mama Gets Served!

After months of blazing the charts with her popular rap song "Lip Gloss," Lil Mama gets served...or shall we say gets "laced."

Yes folks, in the tradition of UTFO, Kangol and Roxanne Shante, there is a full out battle going on via Youtube, between unsigned artist Eric Crawley and Jive Record's Lil Mama.

Whatcha' Know 'Bout Me?

The barely 20 something year olds Eric Crawley and Lil Mama (Niatia Kirkland) are taking it to the streets in classic rap battle style. Both artists are passionate about dance, songwriting and music and are using their skills to catapult their careers to the next level. Lil Mama hails from Brooklyn, New York saying "my father really helped me develop as an artist." Eric hails from Pennsylvania via Dallas, Texas and says that he has been "inspired by artists like Beyonce, Brandy, R-Kelly, Michael Jackson, Usher and Stevie Wonder. "

The difference between these two artists is that one, Lil Mama has become somewhat of a national phenomenon enjoying placement on BET, MTV and being signed to Jive Records. Eric Crawley on the other hand, is an unsigned artist who is making his way to the top while finding common ground with Lil Mama through the song "Lip Gloss," MY SPACE & You Tube.

With the success of Lil Mama, Eric Crawley has taken to the "tubes" and created his revenge ala Roxanne with "My Laces," which is his answer/response to Lil Mama...proclaiming "I gotcha girl now, now you lookin' like a fool!"
