Having graced the music scene with girl group Destiny's Child, the trio produced numerous hits like Say My Name and Bills, Bills, Bills. In 2003, Beyoncé debuted a solo album entitled Dangerously In Love which topped the Billboard charts with the now-iconic hit Crazy In Love.
Her subsequent albums including the eponymously-named Beyoncé, Lemonade, and the single Black Parade have been a move towards a social commentary on the issues facing the black community and representation thereof.
