Come Into My House is an EP mix released in 1990 by Queen Latifah. Released under Tommy Boy, this EP was produced by Louis "Louie Louie" Vega, Queen Latifah, and DJ Mark The 45 King. 

 

Originally emerging as a beatboxer in the Hip-Hop trio Ladies Fresh, then as singer in a duo called Quiet Storm, Queen Latifah (Dana Owens, b. 1970) emerged on the Hip-Hop scene as a rapper and singer. In 1989, Queen Latifah made a demo tape that included “Wrath of Madness” as her first single. Discovered by Fab 5 Freddy, Queen Latifah was signed to Tommy Boy records in 1989 and became a member of the 90s Hip-Hop collective the Native Tongues that included artists who paired Hip-Hop with Jazz and dressed in Afro-centric apparel and jewelry. With hits like “Ladies First” and “U.N.I.T.Y.”, Queen Latifah is known as one of the prominent female leaders of 90s Hip-Hop. Queen Latifah is also known to have one of the strongest female political voices in Hip-Hop, often rapping about women empowerment, domestic violence, and unity within the Black community.
