Shortly after relocating to Atlanta, Sarai landed a record deal with Epic Records. In 2001, she was prominently featured on label-mate P.Y.T. single "Same Ol' Same Ol'" as a featured emcee. She also appeared in the group’s music video. "It's Official," a track from her debut The Original, also appeared as a hidden track on their debut album.
In 2002, "Pack Ya Bags" was released to radio and as a single. Her record label briefly dubbed her Feminem in an attempt to draw comparisons between her and fellow artist Eminem, because she is also Caucasian.
In 2003, "Ladies" was released as a single to radio stations, which landed on the Billboard Hot 100 charts at #28. The Original was released on July 29, 2003. The album entered the Billboard 200 chart at #187.[2] The album featured production from Scott Storch, LJ 'Chocolate, Starr Sutton, Beau Dozier, and many others.
Epic Records decided not to release anything else from The Original, and she no longer records for Epic/SME Records.
Sarai re-emerged in 2005, this time going by the name Miss Eighty 6. She had a small vocal role on the Fantastic Four movie soundtrack, on the track "Now You Know," with emcee Classic.
She also had two songs featured in the movie Aquamarine called "I Rock Hard" and "Drive Me Crazy"[3], and has claimed to be working on more of a rock 'n roll direction for her music.
She also featured as a guest vocalist on Crossfade's "Cold" (Deetown remix).[4]
On November nineteenth, part of Sarai's song "Ring a Ling" [5] appeared as a ring tone in an episode of Supernatural titled "The Real Ghostbusters".
