June 5th Is A Female Version Of A HuSTLa!!!

The rap game is hard as hell to break into. Yeah your beat may be hot, and your rhymes are tight to death but only the strong survive in the jungle known as the industry. Some guys with they sickest lyrics don’t come close to having their songs played on the radio. So what’s a chick to do, when she knows her rap game is tight? She forms a group with two other females that are equally nice with the mic. And June 5th is born. They've heard it all how they could be models are some nice arm candy for a fella or two. Don't let the looks fool you, they are serious about their craft. From an impromptu performance of their song On My Worst Day, to just spitting some lyrics from famed female rapper Lil Kim. June 5th wants the world to know who they are. Any adventure needs a stepping stone and June 5th wants their hometown to give them that extra boost. So we sat down with the trio to help spread the word across the Lou on just who June 5th is?
suiteSTL: How did you meet and form the group
June 5th: Brooke and I (Tiffany) are cousins and real cousins at that!!! We hooked up with Scar we’ve known her for a while she's my best friend. It all felt natural for us to just hook up like that.

suiteSTL: How did you get your name?
June 5th: We were throwing a lot of stuff out there and Scar just said why not June 5th being that it was the day the group came together. Two days later we were in the studio recording

suiteSTL: Here in St. Louis how do you think people take seeing three women on stage rapping.
June 5th: We get a lot of love in the Lou we love performing here. But you have to think bigger than just St. Louis. You should leave and travel around just to make your skin thicker.

suiteSTL: If someone was to label your sound what stamp would it receive?
June 5th: There's no defining June5th. We have our own style and our own flow. We all have three different backgrounds that we talk about, so I know that we each touch different people for different reasons.

suiteSTL: Now the rap game is mainly men, how do men that you date handle you three being around that atmosphere.
June5th: They don't handle it well, and that's a problem for us. Any guy who we would be with would have to be totally confident.

suiteSTL: What keeps this group on its grind?
June5th: Every time they say we can't. That helps us remember that every single moment is our time. It's our right now

suiteSTL: Where can people hear your music?
June 5th: myspace.com/Junefifth

Interviewing the ladies of June5th would have to go down as one of our favorites because of the great vibe we had with them. As we sat around St. Louis Bread Co and talked it felt good to have five beautiful sisters at a table and not feel even the smallest bit of hate from either sides. They give off a vibe of determination and super star status already but were down to earth like you were a family picnic. Don't sleep on these ladies St. Louis. They are on their grind no doubt, with collaborations with Snoop, Jim Jones, and Akon they don't plan on going down without a fight. And Even on their WORST DAY they hold their own in a what some may say is a man's world.
Join June 5th and show support at LURE for Red Hott Thursday's. It might start on June 4th but when the clock hits 12:01 and the calendar reads June 5th the party will be for these ladies as they celebrate their Anniversary.

This article was not meant to bash the young ladies nor put their business in the streets. SMH at the wackness of this "city"...with the good must come the bad right?

Nicole, Inc. said...

Oh my **clutching pearls**. why must you all be so mean to the ladies. Good Lord. I don't care for rap that much either, however, I am going to say good for them for putting a group together of female rappers. We haven't seen that in awhile. So, kudos to you ladies. I wish you nothing but success.

suiteSTL said...

We had so much fun sitting down with you ladies. I don't think we've ever had so much fun in an interview before. We've chosen to ignore the negative comments but let them stand because you ladies out shine them any day of the week. And it's great to see others show support and make those that have to comment Anonymous with such hate look like the fools that they are. Keep doing your thang and this is not the last time you will see June 5th on suiteSTL so get ready and enjoy the show!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PARTY!!!

june 5th said...

wow!!!!!! I want to thank everybody that did have something to say positive and negative about june 5th. Whats is so wonderful is everyone had to take timeout of their busy day 2 support our girls at v.i.psuitestl! When you're born and raised in st.louis you have 2 be prepared 2 have thick skin if you are wanting anything outside of the normal life. So its understandable that PEOPLE wont like us! Even if they think im old looking,tara is a whore ,and the same for tiff. So u made these comments not b/cuz our music is wack? Really? Wow all we want is u 2 listn 2 our music and judge that. Not judge me on how old u think I am or who we could have slept with. Im sure what we are rapping about even the haters will agree it has somthn 2 do with them. we dont hate on anybody but get hated on by those somebodies...but its not enuff 2 stop us. What it does is make people want to no more about us. so thats y we want 2 thank the negative people and dont respond negatively back...and if u have any problems feel free 2 man or woman up and say ur name....then mayb we can get the music 2 u and then ull have a real grown up reason 2 say somthn negative...but if not SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! oopps! sorry it didnt mean 2 act up in the v.i.psuite!!!!

june 5th said...

WE LOVE BEING IN THE V.I.PSUITE!!!!

@dgotmusic said...

All I have to say is it's about time! Rap needs some estrogen again! Congratulations ladies! Keep doing what you're doing. I will do my best to come out and support Thursday. If not, I'll support and pub your music!!! Let the haters feed your drive and motivate to rise above! Be blessed in all that you do and all that you strive to become!

Sorry Brooke just b styling on them! My flows just b wilding on them!Jamie the article was very hot thanks for the supportt. We as women have to support more so we can change our culture and the male dominated industry that we fight so hard to be in our voices must be herd. We the ladies of june5th will b the voice of reason for the women that strugle hustle single moms harvord graduates delta's aka's the women like myself that hold it down and cook and clean in 5inch heels with posh beckem swag and that can go up against any mc!!! ON MY WORST DAY U CANT C ANY OF US WOMEN WHO I JUST NAME

Sunshyneme said...

My goodness....It is so sad to see our city will possibly never change. I catch up with different blogs everyday and I must say this is another most unfortunate way to cast negativity over someone else’s life and promising future.
Big ups to the ladies of suitestl for opening a forum as such to entertain, educate, and empower OUR city. To the ladies of June5th who keep it 100, stay positive. Age nor prior background (true or false) should define your skills, beauty or worth. Scar you could be 150 years old but the truth of the matter is that your beauty holds down greater than anyone in the game. As for Brooke boo-boo they still got you on their minds after all these years AND keeping up with your stardom. So :-) they are still supporting. Tiff GIRL do yo thang! STL...STAND UP!!
See you at Lure ladies....(it may just be MY worst day:-)!

I remeber T-Foxx from the song faturing snoop and she is hott! But the other 2 "Superheads of St. Louis" WOW! Scar, or should I say D.T. didn't Q-tip have a verse about you in a song about how you is nothing but a jump-off! And aint u going on 40! damn I am glad my mom aint on stage shaking her ass with a drink and a 2 step cussing like a fool. Brooke, Your history also is about gold digging and sleeping around. T-foxx stay solo, these known groupies will tarnish your star.
