Solid debut from the 'Madam of Miami', October 27, 2004
Nowadays it's hard to see past the dominant sexual association that comes to mind when we think about female rappers. Realistically, very few female rappers have sustained a career that isn't based on sex, money and designer clothes. Jacki-O has seemingly managed to find a balance between the sex and the struggle, whilst displaying both her emcee talents, as well as some apt vocals (Break You Off, Pretty).
Miami-born Angela Kohn is one of few Miami talents to obtain a record deal. Poe Little Rich Girl offers a fresh sound that is both helping to give Jacki-O a unique sound, as well as develop the slowly thriving Miami hip-hop scene. For a debut effort, Poe Little Rich Girl is a solid work that boasts production by Timbaland (Slow Down), Red Spyda (Sugar Walls, Somebody's Getting F***ed), Jazze Pha (Break You Off), Gorilla Tek and more. It's easy to see that Jacki-O has real rapping skills as she effortlessly rides the beat on Sugar Walls, Slow Down and her new single Fine featuring labelmates, the Ying Yang Twins. Jacki-O has stressed in several interviews that she is not just about the sex and the fashion, as she addresses real-life issues and talks about her less than perfect beginnings.
This CD is a must-have for fans of rap that appreciate artists who are trying to develop something unique. There are the obvious influences from the likes of Lil' Kim, however she uses these influences as a way to make the right decisions. This album is more gangsta than Foxy Brown and more raw than Lil' Kim, we get to know who Jacki-O is and where she stands. The most compelling thing about her is that she seems to embody what she raps about, she isn't trying to be something she's not and she isn't afraid to say what needs to be said.

the Madam of Miami, July 3, 2005
I'm kinda of baffled by the pointless one star/one line reviews here, but i'll say my piece on this album... it's actually really pretty good. I'm a big fan of female rappers (to the review who said they all suck, i recommend you see a therapist to deal with some of your gender issues) but often i'll buy an album to find a few tracks i really like and a lot i couldn't care less about. For example, Diamond Princess by Trina: i'll keep going back to it for Hustling, B R Right and Nasty Bitch, but so much of it i just skip through. Poe Lil Rich Girl, however, is impressively consistant. i might not love every track, but they all have something to offer, and that's great. On the awesome one two punch of Slow Down and Sugar Walls, Jacki even gets a terrifying kind of momentum going, that if sustained over the whole album, would make it an instant classic. unfortunately, it's not quite, but we do get some awesome tracks such as Livin It Up and Tooken Back, to make this album well worth buying. and although it's true that on some tracks Jacki doesn't say much of interest, she can also devliver hot lines such as 'The way he ate the snapper call him Jacque Costeau', and 'how many nuts i got to bust in your face before you shut up?', so i'd say if you like the sound of any Jacki you've heard, go out and buy this album!
