Her reputation grew after notable performances at Detroit underground hip-hop clubs, including seminal rap showdowns at Detroit's famed St. Andrews Hall. Miz Korona's notoriety grew after appearing in the critically acclaimed Curtis Hanson film 8 Mile, alongside legendary rap artists Eminem and Xzibit. Selected by the Detroit Music Awards as "Best Female Hip-Hop" artist several times over, and having built her rep through guest spots on the albums of U.S. and international artists, Miz Korona is now readying the release of her solo debut, The Injection.
