Oracle Jayne Doe

The West Coast's finest female emcees coming together to bring you the highly anticipated album of 2010! This album is in the works..We are cultivating a project that will inspire, uplift, and Get you out of seat! The (SIS)TEM is a movement and we are goin to give you what you want and didn't even know you needed this year! The (SIS)TEM is a collective of female emcees, producers, vocalist, and Djs, co-founded by Aceyalone, Badru, and DVS 1, from the legendary Project Blowed in Los Angeles. DVS 1 created and hosted a hip hop show respectively named, "Female Perspective." Being a female emcee she saw that on the main stream, as well as the underground, women weren't getting their just due.

She decided to organize an event show-ing off the ladies' talent. By the time she reached the second one the roster for performers doubled. This prompted the idea to create an album of all female emcees because apparently there was an untouched fan base out there for it. “We never knew there were so many hungry, motivated driven women all on the same grind”. You can call it "the female Wu-Tang". The (SIS)TEM is about 15-20 solo artists all coming together to push one goal; For women to gain the respect they deserve on the mic. The (SIS)TEM came about during a time when Hip Hop is starving for feminine energy. These women are definitely filling the void with quality music. The (SIS)TEM has graced the stages of some of LA’s hottest clubs, such as the Little Temple , The Airliner, The Key Club, and The Crash Mansion as well as, The Rhythm Lounge, in sunny San Diego, and the Ice House Lounge, in luxurious Las Vegas. As the demand grows throughout the country, The (SIS)TEM is working on a follow-up to it’s Female Perspective Mixtape , as well as their debut Album, The Takeover (working title). You can find the females of The (SIS)TEM all over the country, grinding as solo artist and it wont be long before the world is introduced to this group of glorious ladies in hip hop.

Club, The El Rey, the House of Blues, and the Temple Bar. In 1998, Jayne performed on MTV’s The Cut, formally known as The Real Deal Showcase(pilot episode), where she received interest from Randy Jackson of Fox Television’s American Idol.

As part of our continuing "Woman's Touch" series here on Dubcnn we took some time to speak to the Music Supervisor of a group called The (SIS)TEM. The all Female Collective based out of Leimert Park's Underground Kingdom, Project Blowed consists of Emcees, Vocalist, Dj's, Producers, Photographers and Breakers.

In this interview we speak to The Oracle about her role in The (SIS)TEM and also about her own projects as well as getting her feeling on the current local Hip-Hop scene. The Oracle also has some words for budding female talent.


Dubcnn: Staring off… big ups on the name “(sis)tem.” I love the play on words! What was the inspiration behind coming up with such both an innovative and creative name?

I first wanna give props to the foundation of The (SIS)TEM, which is Project Blowed. The name was created by a couple people, the legendary Aceyalone of Freestyle Fellowship and Badru of Project Blowed recordings, along with some other members of the (SIS)TEM. Acey and Badru, along with one of the core members of the crew, DVS 1, were the co-founders of the (SIS)TEM, as well. It’s a working unit, a group of necessary components that come together in action and form a movement, and that is what we are, a (SIS)TEM. Some of the dopest female emcees, Dj’s, and producers on the West Coast and then some. I say and then some cause our membership is growing daily. The word is getting out.


Dubcnn: One would assume that the name The Oracle was motivated by the movie, The Matrix. Is this a true perception? Share with us your personal meaning of “The Oracle?”

Well yeah, people always think that. But actually I got the name from the Bible. An Oracle is a divine utterance delivered to man. When I first started really grinding as an emcee, my name was Jayne Doe. But there was another person that was using that name and people kept getting us mixed up. I was reading the Bible one night and a passage stayed in my head. And from that point on, I named myself Oracle. My family and friends are always coming to me to get words of wisdom so I felt that it fit me perfectly. The funniest thing is being with a group of my friends at the premiere of “The Matrix” and the name Oracle was mentioned, and everyone looked at me like they had seen a ghost, like they could not believe that there is someone named oracle in the movie. I was like, I can’t wait till the movie comes out so I can sample it. It was also an affirmation that I picked the right name.


Dubcnn: Where are you currently located and your thoughts on the local hip-hop scene?

Well, I’m a pure bred Valley Girl. I was raised in North Hollywood and Pacoima, but I now live in Northridge. I used to catch the bus to South Central to have fun. That is how I discovered Project Blowed. Locally, I am in love with the scene. I am excited to see the variety of Hip Hop that we have coming out of LA. I love Pacific Division, Dubb Union, Terrace Martin, Problem, Uncle Chucc Thirsty Fish, Strong Arm Steady Gang, and of course The (SIS)TEM. There is a smorgasbord, of artist to choose from out here, so many I can’t name them all. The world is in for a treat once they experience this music.


Dubcnn: Describe what makes your scene relevant and what it is that sets your city apart.

This scene is relevant because the expression of the artists is so relatable. I think there is a misconception that LA is all Gangsta, and though we have that, there is still so much more. There are young kids all over the world searching for something in Hip Hop that they can identify with and “My City” has what they are looking for.


Dubcnn: What projects are you working on right now?

Well I am working with a new group called A.N.D What! It’s my pet project right now. The group consist of my 2 little sisters, Alic-ia and Digga, and their friend, Nia-lynn, they have a hot single called Bamboos, that is bubblin’. Currently, the (SIS)TEM-ADDICT Takeover mixtape is on the streets, and I have some tracks I produced, and some song I’m rhyming on featured on that project. I am also working on another mixtape called The adventures of Thelma & Louis with DVS 1 of the (SIS)TEM and hosted by JIJI Sweet another (sis)tem member, and the hardest working female DJ in LA. Along with my solo project, Reality Show. So much music to be made but I’m up for the challenge.


Dubcnn: Who are some of your upcoming features, collaborators or producers on your upcoming album?

I have a song on my up and coming album, that is produced by Terrace Martin, featuring Timothy Bloom, called Another Day. I also have some songs produced by Spontaneous of Spur of the Moment music, a song called I Know produced by, Hotline, a dope producer in NY, a song called, Little sister, produced by Mstreetz from the West Coast, and I have a song with the Legendary Brotha Jay from X-Clan, that I am really excited about. I also hope to be finishing up some work with Georgia Anne Muldrow. There are a host of other produce - Dubbcnn.com
