    Porsha Got Bars! Ta’Rhonda Jones aka Lady Heroin drops her new single: Want to Change.  The 27 year old actress/rapper from Chicago made her acting premiere on the show’s first season and has since been promoted to the main cast for Empire’s second season.
    Ta’Rhonda Jones aka Lady Heroin drops ‘Want to Change’ produced by Tim Streetzz.  Porsha, Cookie’s assistant on Empire was a rapper before joining the cast of Fox’s hit hip-hop series.

    Cookie fired Porsha for getting her locked up yet Porsha earned her position back by introducing Woopty Woop, her “Grandma’s mut” that saved Lyon Dynasty from a robbery.  Jones has been utilizing her Empire fame to secure additional roles as she was recently featured in an episode of Chicago P.D. titled Get Back to Even.

    ‘Juice’ was the title of Lady Heroin’s first single:

    Started From the Bottom
    Jones truly started from the bottom and now she is here! Lady Heroin was working at a nursing home before she began acting and asked for a sign from God.  Right on time, the alarm clock that she keeps, which once belonged to her deceased brother, went off signaling her to quit her job and pursue her acting career by accepting a role on Empire.

    ‘Empire’ Characters Who Need More Screen Time

    Now, I love Empire more than anyone, but I have one tiny concern: Some of the new cast members are not receiving their due screen time. For Season 2, Tiana (Serayah), Becky, and Porsha were promoted from recurring to full-time cast members, but it feels like those three characters have barely appeared this season.

    A few episodes ago, Tiana got robbed at Lyon Dynasty, but it was all part of a bigger storyline about Cookie’s safety at the label rather than about the emerging popstar herself. Cookie yells at Porsha a lot — even when Porsha brought in a cute dog.

    Last week, Becky finally got a storyline — she’s seeing rapper J. Poppa, who Andre wants to turn into more of a spiritual artist for Gutter Life Records. Plus, Dre made it clear he knows Becky and Poppa are together and he is not happy about it.
    Since Becky finally has a storyline, it’s time for Tiana and Porsha to get theirs, too. Maybe Porsha will finally rebel against Cookie’s shoddy treatment of her and head over to Empire Entertainment to work for Lucious. She could also take those pesky masters with her. As for Tiana, perhaps she could commit a public faux pas that causes her to have to join Hakeem’s girl group and conflict will abound.

    In any case, these characters deserve more screen time, pronto.
