In 1994, her singles "Where I Wanna Be Boy" and "Don't Front" became popular enough to lead her talent to the ears of Program Director (then) Steve Smith and not long after Miss Jones was the newest weekend Singer/jock on radio!! Her debut album, The Other Woman, was released in 1998, and Miss Jones continued to record with newer artists such as Jahiem (Waitin' on You)and jazz artist Najee.

On June 28, 2008, Hot 97's contract with Miss Jones expired. Radio show Big Boy's Neighborhood, hosted by Big Boy and MTV VJ Liz Hernandez, replaced Jones' former morning show.This decision was quickly deemed an error and Emmis Communications hired Miss Jones back in 2010 to do weekends at sister station Kiss-FM which was a prequel to Jones taking over mornings at NYC's 98.7 Kiss-FM. that upcoming year however Clear Channel objected to the move and the deal fell through.
