Eve reflects on legacy of women in hip-hop, new series 'Queens'

Eve is set to star in ABC's "Queens," a drama about the lives of four women as they reunite and seek to recapture the fame they achieved as part of a 90s hip-hop group.

When Eve burst into the mainstream in the late 90s with her debut album, "Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders' First Lady," the rapper made history as the third female hip-hop artist to top the Billboard Hot 200 chart.

And now, the Grammy-winning artist is celebrating the legacy of women in hip-hop by starring in in ABC's "Queens," a drama that follows the lives of four women as they reunite for the first time in 20 years and seek to recapture the fame they achieved as part of an iconic 90s hip-hop group, "Nasty B------."

"You kind of see them in their womanhood getting back together, figuring out how to get back together. But it's definitely about the music, but it's also about friendship," Eve told ABC News.

The ABC series, which is set to premiere on Oct 19., stars Eve as Brianna, whose stage name is "Professor Sex," R&B star Brandy as Naomi "Xplicit Lyrics," Naturi Naughton, who was part of R&B group 3LW, as Jill "Da Thrill," and actress Nadine Velazquez as Valeria "Butter Pecan."
