Text EntriesAn invitation for a party in 1994 hosted by Ruthless Records featuring H.W.A.
H.W.A. an initialism of Hoes with Attitudes is an female Hip-Hop trio from Compton, California. The group is composed of Jazz, Diva and Baby Girl (Kim Kenner). They were most active from 1989 until 1994, during which time they were signed to Ruthless Records. The three women came together in 1989 to record their debut album, Livin' in a Hoe House, which was released in 1990 on Drive-By Records. The group became known for their sexually explicit lyrics and were signed to Ruthless. Emigrating from Chicago to Los Angeles in the late 80s, within a year they had unveiled an album that would sell nearly 400, 000 copies.
