Lady May (born Rhonda Robinson) is an American rapper from New York City's suburbs.
May was born in the 1980s and grew up listening to Elton John, Duran Duran and Michael Jackson. At the age of fifteen, May stopped attending high school and became a hip hop dancer in music videos for artists such as LL Cool J and Jodeci, but was left unsatisfied, eventually turning to rap music.
May had a modest hit in 2001, "Round Up", which features R&B singer and label-mate Blu Cantrell. She hooked up with producer Deric "D-dot" Angelettie to record her debut album May Day, which was scheduled for release in August 2002 but was ultimately shelved. In 2003, she was featured on Willa Ford's "A Toast to Men", also appearing in its video.
The same year she appeared on DJ Kayslay's Streetsweeper Vol. 1 on the song "Seven Deadly Sins", which also featured Vita, Angie Martinez, Duchess, Amil, Sonja Blade, and Remy Ma.
She was also featured on Rob Jackson's single "Boom Boom Boom".
