The crowd got even louder. âTonight! The realest bitch in the world is about to rip this mothafucka up! Are yâall ready?â The crowd continued to scream. âI said, are yâall fuckinâ ready?â The crowd got so loud that the whole club felt like it was shaking. âD.C.! Here she is! Itâs Clarity!â
The instrumental from Jay-Zâs song âCan I Liveâ came on and Clarity hit the stage. Clarity was a sexy, thick redbone with long, curly hair that stopped at the middle of her back. She was rocking a tight, black cotton mini dress that easily flaunted her well-shaped figure. She strutted across the stage wearing some black Gucci frames and black three-inch heels. Latrice had never seen Clarity and didnâtknow how pretty she was. There was no doubt that Clarity would be very marketable and that the fellas would be all over her, too. Latrice wanted to sign her even more now.
Clarity started to spit. âYâall know fake-bitches be makinâ me sickâSo when they see me, I donât see âem in the Benz, âcause my tints be extra thickâIâm on some killer, Iâma murder shitâI bust my gun, I got âem âI donât run, I get my nigga Dull to scoop me quickâIâm really âbout my paper, bitch!âYou betta pay me, Poppo/ For that brickâOr Iâll send el goupo to come bust ya âshitâIâm the topic of a lot of shitâLike whoâs money sheâs stuffingâWhoâs she fuckingâAnd whoâs the bitch sheâs mean muggingâIâm the shit and Iâm loving itâIâm the best bitch in the gameâAinât even playing with the cards I getâSo when they dealâAnd say you gotta play that shitâJust say fuck âemâMake something from nothingâAnd get it how you live, younginâ.â
Latrice was blown away by Clarityâs lyrics. She thought she could rap better than most guys and thought her delivery was crazy. She hadnât seen a female rapper with her type of intensity and caliber since Lilâ Kim. If Clarity was on her label, other rappers in the game would seriously have to step their shit up. Clarity performed for another half hour doing songs that no one had ever heard. The crowd went crazy when Clarity finally left the stage. Latrice couldnât wait to talk to her. The music came back on and everyone started dancing and going back to the bar again to get more drinks.
âDamn. Her performance was something else. Her ass made me wanna try to rap,â Teyron proclaimed.
âHell yeah. Sheâs the hottest bitch out right now,â Latrice replied.
Without Latrice even noticing, Fantasy came up behind her and tapped her on her shoulder.
âLatrice, right?â
âHey, Fantasy.âLatrice looked at Fantasy and saw she still had on the same raggedy clothes that sheâd had on earlier. The only thing Fantasy did differently to herself was change her shoes. She replaced her old beat-up Reeboks with some flat dress shoes. Latrice knew that Fantasy looked like a hot ghetto-ass mess, and thought that saying âfuck itâ was her style.
âDid you enjoy the show?â Fantasy asked.
âHell yeah. Clarity is like that, for real.â
âSo are you ready to meet her?â
Latrice was so excited that she couldnât even talk. All she could do was nod her head yes. âAll right, follow me.â
Latrice looked over at Teyron. âIf I donât see you before the club let out, call me in a few days so I can tell you what I think of your demo.â Teyron assured her he would call as he watched her follow Fantasy onto the crowded dance floor.
Fantasy took Latrice to the back of the club. Clarity was waiting for her in a private room. Latrice was getting nervous and didnât know what she was going to say to Clarity when she finally met her. She had a one-shot deal to sign
