Broken Silence is the third album by American rapper Foxy Brown. It was released on July 17, 2001, by Violator and Ill Na Na Entertainment, with distribution handled by Def Jam Recordings. Looking for a more street-oriented sound, much different from her mainstream image with her previous album Chyna Doll, Brown worked with a variety of musicians on the album, including Dave Kelly, Robert Kirkland, The Neptunes, Tamir "Nokio" Ruffin, Kenya "Fame Flames" Miller, and DJ Clue. The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its "musical openness," wordplay, and blend of styles, while noting its "frailty and vulnerability," though some felt weaker tracks kept it from shining. Commercially, Broken Silence debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, was certified gold in the United States, and achieved moderate international success, particularly within R&B charts. The song "Na Na Be Like" was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2003, two years after its release.
