Amil Whitehead (born in New York, New York, United States) professionally known as Amil, is a female rapper of African American, Cherokee Indian, and European descent from New York City.[1] She was prominent in the late 1990s as a Jay-Z protegé, most notably on the single "Can I Get A..." from the Rush Hour soundtrack. In 1997, Amil was involved with the all-female group Major Coinz. The group met Jay-Z, who was looking for a woman to provide vocals on his third album, Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life. The part for the female rapper was really for her friend, but when Jay-Z asked Amil to freestyle and liked it, he decided to put her on the song instead. Amil, wanting to remain loyal to her friend, did not prefer to be put on the song, but Jay-Z allowed them both to do a version of the song. Since then she appeared on his following 3 albums and in many videos by Jay-Z, Jermaine Dupri, Beanie Sigel, Ja Rule, Tamar Braxton and Jaz-O such as, "Nigga What, Nigga Who" and "Can I Get A..." and "Get None" her vocals were also featured on many album-tracks. For example: "Hey Papi", Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up), "S. Carter" and "Playa". In 1998 Amil, Beanie Sigel, Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek, being the main Roc-A-Fella artists at the time, formed supergroup "The Dynasty". Together they released the album The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. It's the only Dynasty Album they released.
