There are actually two Roxanne’s associated with U.T.F.O. The original was a girl named Elease Jack, and she is the girl that recorded the first single version of “The Real Roxanne”, and this is the only song she appeared on. She had no rap experience, UTFO found her in a club and asked her do a song. Her mother had didn’t want her to be in the music industry, because she knew how they “groomed” young girls, and all of the drug abuse that went on, and would be taken advantage of. (Just ask Roxanne Shanté about this, it happened to her exactly like that, or watch her Netflix biopic, “Roxanne, Roxanne”.
UTFO needed to replace Elease Jack with a “new” Roxanne. Doctor Ice and Kangol Kid were kickin’ it at the Albee Square Mall (the one Biz Markie has a song about) in Brooklyn. They seen a hot girl (Adelaida Martinez) and tried to spit game to her, but she paid them no mind (just like the song says, it’s all truth).
And this was occurring as Adelaida was becoming friends with Paul Anthony of Full Force, which is closely related with U.T.F.O. (It’s a small world). Full Force was looking for a replacement for Elease Jack, and so Adelaida became the new “Real” Roxanne, and has played the part ever since.

reading above Elease Jack - The Original Roxanne did have another single after UTFO's 'The Real Roxanne' - it was called 'Boys" on Gold Records in 1985. The way to tell the difference between the two arists is that Elease was credited as ROXANNE and her song was The Real Roxanne. The second Roxanne was billed as The Real Roxanne all the way through until 1992, where she dropped 'The Real' part of her name to record her final single for Select Records. Simple really.

1980’s rap is the best Other decades are dope, but this is the dopest. A lot of great female rappers: Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Lauren Hill, and too many others to list..:: My favorite is tha REAL ROXANNE

Word up! Truth! The '80's were definitely my favorite decade of Hip Hop. It brought us old school, new school, golden age... Big Daddy Kane, L.L. Cool J, Rakim, just to name a few. Would take a year to list all the greats and legends from the '80's. The 1980's are why hip hop has made this far.
