LaTasha Sheron Rogers (30 July 1970 - 4 June 1991), better known by her stage name MC Trouble, was an American rapper from Los Angeles, California. The first female rapper signed to Motown Records, she released her only album, Gotta Get a Grip, in 1990 to moderate sales and reviews.
Rogers was born with epilepsy and required daily treatment to prevent seizures. While working on her second album, she died in her sleep on 4 June 1991 shortly after suffering an epileptic seizure that resulted in heart failure. She was buried in Inglewood Park Cemetery, in which her tombstone erroneously lists her year of death as 1992 instead.
Her posthumous single "Big Ole Jazz" was released in 1992 on the House Party 2 soundtrack, resulting in a second and final hit on the Billboard Rap Singles chart. The song "Vibes and Stuff" by A Tribe Called Quest from their 1991 album The Low End Theory is dedicated to Rogers.
