[edit] Career
[edit] Da Kaperz - GA Peach (1998–2006)
A native of Decatur, Georgia, Rasheeda started out as a member of the teenage hip hop trio Da Kaperz. When she decided to launch her solo career she was snatched up by Motown Records and she released her solo, debut album Dirty South in 2001.[1] The album contained the dirty south anthem, “Do It (Do Da Damn Thang)” with Pastor Troy. Her follow up was 2002’s A Ghetto Dream released on the Atlanta based D-Lo Entertainment label. That album featured collaborations with the superstars of crunk, Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz. Her latest endeavor Dat Type of Gurl has guest appearances from multiplatinum crooner, Akon and southern favorites, Baby, Jazze Pha and Fabo of D4L.
[edit] 2007–present
Rasheeda is currently working on her new album "Certified Hot Chick" Dat Type Of Gurl, which was released on June 19th 2007, and the lead single, "Got That Good (My Bubble Gum)", which was also featured on her 3rd LP, GA Peach. Additionally, she has joined with equally obscure Atlanta-based American R&B singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss in forming the girl group Peach Candy in collaboration with D-Lo Entertainment, Don Vito Entertainment and Kandi Koated Entertainment. Their current single is called "I wish I Never" and can be heard on their MySpace page.
Rasheeda also graced the cover of SPATE Magazine in the June/July 2007 issue.[2] [3]
Rasheeda confirmed that she is to release her fifth studio album in 2008 via her myspace page, with the first official single being Let It Go
