A History of Mariah Carey's Collaborations With Rappers

Lead

Mariah Carey made her music debut a little over 20 years ago and while the singer has been praised for her legacy in pop and R&B, Mimi is no stranger to the hip-hop world, either. In fact, the 1995 remix of her hit "Fantasy" with the late Ol' Dirty Bastard is still regarded as a landmark moment in cross-genre collaborations.

Today, Mariah will release her new single, "Triumphant," and it features none other than Maybach Music's Rick Ross and Meek Mill. In anticipation, we opted for a quick look back at her previous collaborations with hip-hop artists. From the mid-90s, when she was recording with Da Brat, to recent work with MCs like Nicki Minaj and Gucci Mane, here's a history of Mariah Carey's collaborations with rappers.
