So i've just started dating a girl who when we started discussing music said she liked Jean Grae (among others).

I've done the archive search on The Lesson but where do I start with Jean Grae so I sound less ignorant than right now?

Why's Jean Grae not broken through to the mainstream?

What tracks are the ones to really get to know?, what collaborations?, which producers she work with? etc..

Jean Grae sounds interesting, born Cape Town to South African jazz musician parents, came to US at three months.
