Michie Mee is being re-centered in hip-hop history as WorldWide Entertainment TV releases a new short documentary highlighting her role in shaping Jamaican Funk and early Toronto hip-hop culture.

The documentary blends rare archival footage, live anniversary performances, and reflections from Michie Mee herself, tracing her journey from early Canadian television appearances to modern-day stages. It revisits a time when Caribbean influence, hip-hop, and Canadian identity intersected long before Toronto became a global rap hub.

Beyond Canada, Michie Mee’s influence also extended into a pivotal moment for women in hip-hop. She appeared in the groundbreaking Ladies First music video led by Queen Latifah, alongside MC Lyte, Monie Love, Ms. Melodie, and Ice Cream Tee. The song and video became a cultural milestone, spotlighting women MCs at a time when the genre was still heavily male-dominated.

The documentary also includes a powerful historical detail: Michie Mee speaks about her father, a Jamaican promoter who helped bring the Jackson 5 to Jamaica during their early years. The moment reframes Jamaican Funk as part of a broader global Black music network rather than a localized genre.

As conversations continue around Toronto hip-hop’s origins and legacy, the documentary positions Michie Mee not as a footnote, but as a foundational figure whose influence crossed borders and generations.

The full Jamaican Funk short documentary is now available via WorldWide Entertainment TV.
