Carolyn Rodriguez (born May 3, 1979) who is originally from North Carolina is a productive singer and rapper who is streetwise and sweet-voiced. She is an artist whose music is forged from the gritty reality of her experiences and a powerful connection to her audience. Carolyn is nicknamed ‘Medicine Girl’.

Carolyn was raised between two cultures.

Her mom is white and her father's family were Spanish farmers.

Carolyn’s upbringing was conventional as she participated in choir, ballet and basketball. When her parents divorced, she moved with her mom to Fort Smith, Arkansas and encountered the cold slap of redneck culture.

Carolyn grew in an environment where she got exposed to thug life.

It was these associations that predicted her future in hip hop. Graduating early from high school, she moved to Huntsville, Texas where her father was teaching at Sam Houston State University. She attended college and recorded her first demo with Jaime “Pain” Ortiz, who was to become a Latin Grammy winning producer and engineer.

Just like other singers and rappers, Carolyn faced many changes as she instigates the latest phase in her career in a new locale – Los Angeles, California.

As a rapper, Carolyn’s rhymes are intuitive and connected.

She was nicknamed ‘Medicine Girl" for her narcotic minded writing, Carolyn Rodriguez is a street-smart singer and rapper who naturally fit into the Houston rap scene despite being raised in North Carolina and Arkansas. After she graduated from high school, Rodriguez relocated to Huntsville, Texas to attend Sam Houston State (from where she would graduate with an accounting degree). She caught the attention of Dope House affiliate Jaime "Pain" Ortiz, who recorded a first demo that led to work with Juan Gotti and South Park Mexican, among several other Texas-based artists.

Carolyn began a productive solo career began with the independently released albums Castellana (2007), Medicine Girl (2009), and Betty Crocker (2011), a period during which she also made a full-length with Gotti.

Further studio work resulted in several additional albums and mixtapes, highlighted by Fuck What They Think (2014) and FWTT, Pt. 2 (2016).

At some point, she left the Lone Star State for Los Angeles, but she continued to record with members of her Southwest family, as heard on the Gotti and Paul Wall collaboration "Houston" (2017).

Love and War is Carolyn’s tenth release, the latest in a lineage that encompasses seven albums, two mix tapes, and a “screwed and chopped” version of an album.

These new songs reflect her surroundings as she channels her musical side through the spirit of classic R&B.

Beginning with the DFO Music Group, her career blossomed in the vital Houston Latin rap community.

She was a featured vocalist and rapper on multiple projects with artists including SPM (South Park Mexican) and Juan Gotti.

She hit the h^{[7][8][9][10][11][13][14]} ustle hard: passing out CD’s on the streets, performing at Low-rider car shows, and gaining a following from Houston to Phoenix, Denver and Los Angeles.

When the Pocos Pero Locos radio syndicate wasn’t playing her songs in rotation, she drove from Denver to Los Angeles to personally “get in their faces,” as she remembers. It was a fortuitous connection as she created an alliance with other artists, placed her version of the reggae classic “Night Nurse” in the Filly Brown feature film, and made the connections for her move to the City of the Angels. Which brings her to the present, and the message embodied in Love and War. Carolyn Rodriguez might be evolving, but she has not smoothed down her sharp edges.

Rodriguez is acquainted with Baby Bash.
