LaTasha Sheron Rogers (July 30, 1970 – June 4, 1991), better known as MC Trouble, was a rap artist, and the first female rapper signed to Motown Records.
MC Trouble had a minor hit with the song "(I Wanna) Make You Mine" featuring labelmates The Good Girls released May 25, 1990. "Make You Mine" peaked at #15 on the Billboard Rap Charts.[1] The title track of her debut album Gotta Get A Grip was released as a second single on September 14, 1990. Gotta Get A Grip showed promise as a mix of hardcore rap and more commercial R&B.[2]
Tragically, MC Trouble died in her sleep on June 4, 1991 while at the home of a friend in Los Angeles, CA shortly after suffering an epileptic seizure which resulted in heart failure. The posthumous single "Big Ole Jazz" was released in 1992 and appeared on the House Party 2 soundtrack and gave Trouble a second & final hit on the Billboard Rap Charts.
