The Conscious Daughters (TCD) were an American female hip hop duo from Oakland, California, consisting of Carla "CMG" Green and Karryl "Special One" Smith. The duo signed in 1993 to Paris's record label, Scarface Records, after giving him a demo tape at a club. They released their first studio album, "Ear to the Street," later that year.

The 1994 single "Somethin' to Ride To (Fonky Expedition)" and its accompanying video brought TCD national recognition. They were subsequently signed by Priority/EMI Records and released their second album, "Gamers." Following this, they participated in various collaborations, projects, and television appearances, including "Rap City," "MTV Jams," and "Soul Train."

Their third album, "The Nutcracker Suite," was released on Guerrilla Funk Records on February 10, 2009. In 2010, TCD ended their relationship with Guerrilla Funk Records, and in 2011 they signed a distribution deal with Phaseone/Sony.

On December 10, 2011, Karryl Smith was found dead at her home. The cause of death was later determined to be complications from blood clots that reached her lungs.
