A defining moment in hip-hop history is being celebrated as Eve marks the 25th anniversary of her platinum-selling album Scorpion with a newly released limited-edition red-and-black splatter 2LP vinyl. The special anniversary release arrives exactly a quarter century after the album’s debut and includes a collectible autographed insert, giving longtime fans and vinyl collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of hip-hop heritage. The commemorative edition is available now for purchase at www.eveofficial.com.
Released during a golden era of rap and R&B, Scorpion remains one of the most powerful and influential albums ever created by a female rapper. The project showcased Eve’s fierce lyrical style, commanding voice, and undeniable charisma. As the Ruff Ryders’ First Lady, she delivered an album that blended gritty street narratives with crossover appeal, helping push women in hip-hop into new commercial and cultural territory.
The album produced unforgettable hits, including “Who’s That Girl?” and the Grammy-winning collaboration “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” featuring Gwen Stefani. The record quickly dominated international charts and went Platinum in the United States and Canada, while earning Gold certification in the United Kingdom and France. Over the years, Scorpion has continued to resonate with listeners, accumulating more than one billion global streams, a testament to its enduring impact.
The anniversary celebration also comes at an exciting moment in Eve’s career. Later this month she will step onto one of music’s most prestigious stages as a co-host of the MOBO Awards, taking place in Manchester on March 26, 2026. Her appearance highlights the ongoing influence she maintains within global music culture.
Beyond her musical legacy, Eve’s career has expanded across entertainment. With more than 10 million records sold worldwide, she has collaborated with an extraordinary lineup of artists including Alicia Keys, Missy Elliott, Janet Jackson, Sean Paul, and Shaggy. She has also built a successful acting and television career, appearing in film and television projects and co-hosting the CBS daytime talk show The Talk, which earned her two Daytime Emmy nominations.
