Album US 1998 on Sony Discos label
Hip-Hop/Rap, Reggae and Latin (Reggaeton)
''The Original Rude Girl'' is the second studio album by Puerto Rican reggaeton recording artist Ivy Queen released on December 15, 1998 by Sony Discos. It is the follow up studio album to Queen's debut effort ''En Mi Imperio'' released in 1997. The album includes Queen's debut single "In The Zone" featuring Wyclef Jean, which helped to increase the album and Queen's exposure to American audiences. After the success of her debut studio album ''En Mi Imperio'', which as of February 2004 has sold over 80,000 copies, Ivy Queen was quickly signed to the Sony label and began recording material for her second album. However, due to her inexperience in the music business Queen did not receive any profits from the sales of ''En Mi Imperio''. In 1998, while Wyclef Jean was touring Puerto Rico, Ivy Queen attended one of his concerts. Wyclef then sent an invitation for fans to come up on stage if they thought they could "flow". With encouragement from her friends, Queen stepped on stage an amazed Jean enough that they later met again in New York to record a song. Following the lawsuit filed against DJ Negro, producer of ''En Mi Imperio'', Sony Discos decided to produce and develop music directly for Queen, as they were unhappy with the work produced by DJ Negro.
