Her verse on Complexion gave me prime Lauryn Hill vibes
what are her best projects? what should I start with?
Here's most of her discography. Most of these are free, and you can listen to all of them without paying.
Honestly, I think if you had to pick one, her newest one, Beauty and the Beast is probably the best introduction. her skills are at their highest point, it's 10 songs. Short and sweet. Good production from 9th Wonder, Nottz, Eric G, and Khrysis.
The Soul Council usually does all her production (9th Wonder, Khrysis, Nottz, Eric G, Amp, E. Jones, Fatin, and Kash). If you like 9th Wonder, he basically produced damn near all of the first tape (Return of the B-Girl). As the tapes went on, the rest of the Soul Council got more involved.
My favorite longer project of hers is She Got Game Deluxe, and then For Everything (which has goof features from Freeway, Kendrick, etc.) I hope this helps!

She has solid cosigns from Kendrick, Ab-Soul, Jay-Z, Nas, DJ Premier, and quite a few notable names. She even dropped a freestyle after she got snubbed by XXL for their Freshman list last year.
