MERROR, MIRROR: THE ART OF SELF-REFLECTION is Samantha's sophomore CD release and this CD is indeed a reflection of her poetic as well as personal maturity.

UNCIRCUMCISED (RAW & UNCUT) is
the first release from Samantha. This funky and fiercely talented spoken word diva unleashes a unique fornication of creativity and consciousness--an arsenal of spoken word poetry laced with hip hop, jazz, and live acoustics.
