'We Gonna Win' is a song of triumph, ... It represents my personal belief that with hard work, talent and dedication, everything is possible. It's a one of a kind marriage between rap and classical music, where the music doesn't accompany the vocalist, but rather stands on its own. |
[An Atlantic Records executive sent Ben-Ari to Wyclef after he spotted her playing at an open mic night in New York.] I had my own steady gigs and I was writing my own compositions. They where very R&B, ... And I was very serious about jazz. Wynton Marsalis was on my last CD. |
Basically the hip-hop and R&B community are getting together to pull this off, ... I have Anthony Hamilton on one track, Scarface on one, Ghostface on two tracks, Joe Budden, Mya, Kanye (West) and the list goes on, it's amazing. |
I came from the 'hood. I'm from Israel, yo, |
It's a groundbreaking song. There were never tracks like that in hip-hop, I should say, history before. It's all about me. It's so, like, strings and it's so freaking gangsta at the same time. It's how I wanted to come out. |
My first hip-hop performance was at Carnegie Hall with Wyclef, ... I got a little feature and he announced me as the 'hip-hop violinist.' The next night I played at the Apollo. |
Partnering with Reebok is a natural fit for me because they truly value artists who are not afraid to be different and stand out from the crowd. I am excited to work with Reebok on my new music video and thrilled to be part of their I Am What I Am campaign. |

The artists on my album were all very talented and unique, and most have never worked with a violinist, so we pushed each other creatively, |
The reaction is unbelievable, |
You are the hip-hop violinist, the creator, the visionaire, ... and therefore you should do whatever the hell you wanna do because whatever you do is right. They're not gonna have like 20 hip-hop violinists in the company. I know what to do. |
