Born Rasheeda Buckner on May 25, 1982, better known by her stage
name Rasheeda is a female rapper and hip-hop singer. Buckner was
born on May 25, 1982 in Illinois. Rasheeda was a member of the
teenage hip-hop trio Da Kaperz until 2000 when she launched a solo
career. Her fifth album, Certified Hot Chick was released on August
18, 2009. She is also part of the R&B/hip-hop duo Peach Candy
with R&B singer-songwriter Kandi Burruss.
Rasheeda is a rapper and singer from Atlanta, Georgia, she released
4 albums and has appeared on tracks with Petey
Pablo, Nelly, Nivea,
Cherish, and Ciara's "Goodies" video. Rasheeda has been
called several times as "Queen of crunk" She is known for
his hit single "My gum (Got that good) "She is also a member
of girl group Peach Candy. Rasheeda had an early start in her career.
As an adolescent, she and two of her friends formed hip-hop girl
group Da Kaperz, which began her career in the entertainment business.
Da Kaperz signed on to D-Lo Entertainment, which Rasheeda works with
to the present. The group had caught widespread attention by early
2000.
Just a year later, Rasheeda began her career as a solo artist with
Dirty South, a 2001 album between D-LO and Motown Records. With guest
stars like Pastor Troy and Re-Re on board, the album quickly moved
up the charts, with some of its tracks even labeled as new hip-hop
anthems. Some of the other artists who also worked on Dirty South
include Thugz Nation, Nelly and Jim Crow.
While Dirty South placed her firmly in the hip-hop genre, Rasheeda
moved on to a more specific niche. Her 2002 second album Ghetto Dream,
an indie release under D-Lo, had her churning out beats with the
likes of Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz. The Ghetto Dream sound
featured faster rhythms and stronger beats, making it an instant
hit with the club crowd. It was also with this album that Rasheeda
earned her title as the Queen of Crunk.
Rasheeda paid homage to her Southern roots with her third album,
Georgia Peach. Working once more with D-Lo Entertainment, the more
intimate lyrics in Georgia Peach were combined with a slightly slower
rhythm. The sexier, dirtier lyrics made it another favorite in the
club circuits. Her latest effort, 2007's Dat Type of Gurl, had Rasheeda
reprise some of her earlier works from Georgia Peach. Many of her
old tracks were updated with remixes and samples thrown in for good
measure.
