Every female rapper likes to consider herself different from the rest and Bella Donna is no exception. However, Bella Donna’s hypnotic delivery, raspy voice, innovative and original lyricism, and eccentric style easily set her apart from other female artists and make her the exception. The name Bella Donna literally means “beautiful woman” in Italian and in English is the shortened name for “atropa belladonna”, a plant that contains hallucinogenic properties that when ingested creates vivid delusions that can be fatal, thus reflecting her dual sided nature (A Beauty and a Poison). Bella previously simply went by the stage alias "Bella Donna" but due to the widespread use of the name, she adopted the Atropa (pronounced Aa-tro-paw) and now goes by "Atropa BellaDonna".
