Career
Raynor had a minor role in the 1998 film Belly as a 16-year-old girl named Kionna who is one of Tommy's girlfriends. In the same year she also appeared in the video of the song "break ups 2 make ups" by Method Man and D`Angelo, playing the formers` girlfriend. Raynor was signed as the first lady of Murder Inc Records. She appeared as a guest vocalist on numerous songs including on "Irv Gotti Presents The Inc" on the songs "Down 4 U" & "Here We Come" and recorded her own album, La Dolce Vita, however it was never released, with the first single "Justify My Love" not gaining attention, it is probably because Madonna shut her down from making her re-make original, as she recorded a version with her rapping, but Madonna did not clear the song for her unless she did a version in exactly the same style as her. The label later went defunct and Vita faded into obscurity. Her debut album was later released on DatPiff. She made a comeback in 2012 with the mixtape, Pre-cumm, a title given for "pure shock value"; she's also worked on producing a lingerie line.
