...called herself Mary Poppins, her career might have been different. But by adopting the name of the street-tough title character of a blaxploitation classic, rapper FOXY BROWN gave herself a lot to live up to. She proved worthy on her first album, Ill Na Na, with lewd lyrics, a hypersexual persona and platinum sales. Brown, 19, now has a second album, Chyna Doll, an equally provocative effort.
