Description Along with acts like the Cookie Crew, Betty Boo, Monie Love and the She Rockers, the Wee Papa Girl Rappers were part of a first wave of female rappers within the British hip hop community to have significant commercial and Singles Chart success in the late 1980's/early 1990's Originally signed to Jive Records - twin sisters Sandra Lawrence aka Total S and Samantha Lawrence aka TY Tim/Timmie, are best remembered for the single Wee Rule - ironically more inspired by and reggae and dancehall than rap/hip hop, which reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart in October 1988. Another one of their singles Heat it Up - featuring Two Men and A Drum Machine, was a very popular dance track which reached #21 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1988. It also featured an acid house/techno style remix from Inner City's Kevin Saunderson which may have contributed to the popularity of the track at the time and they released two albums on the Jive label before splitting up. The duo got their name "Wee Papa" from the Saint Lucia French Creole expression "Oui Papa" which their father frequently uttered. Their father hailed from the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia.
