The Rasheeda Interview




The Certified HOT CHICK

Urbaniti catches up with BOSS Chick Rasheeda, as she promotes her new album Certified Hot Chick in the UK

You`re widely known in the US but you`re not really known in the UK, so for the people who don`t know about you here`s your chance?
Well my name is Rasheeda I represent Atlanta, GA Im a female hip hop entertainer aka The Georgia Peach, Queen of Crunk, The Boss Chick.

Have you been rapping long?
10 years plus

Are there any artists that influenced?
Nah not really hip hop as a whole influenced & inspired me to want to create music and tell my stories & make people feel good like music did to me and the people around me when I was younger. There were a lot of artist who influenced me too many to name.
This is your fifth album what`s so different about this one?
It`s really good music with substance more diverse than my previous releases its a must have for women. The fellas will learn a lot about us on this album I speak on a lot of situations & issues us women go thru. The album is empowering, sexy, confident, intelligent, independent women’s music!
From your music I can tell, you`re about empowering women, Is it harder being a female rapper in the industry especially when you`re pretty?
It`s harder being a female in this industry anyway u slice it. Hip hop is male dominated so the game is unfair regardless. The unique thing about me is people liked my music before they really saw my face so me getting in the game because I have a (quote on quote) “pretty face” doesn’t apply to me. I’m so glad people just like my music so much then when they see me they are like “r u Rasheeda fo real” LOL!
What's your favourite song on the album and why?
“Compliment” is 1 its just basically saying the small things in a relationship are important sometimes out weight the big things. I like “Better off Alone” its so real to me sometimes we get into relationships that are unhealthy we want it but its not good for us and we really need to let go. That’s what “better off Alone” symbolizes the fact that as much as I want you I’m better off alone.
I love your song Boss chick, what a boss chick to you?
A Boss Chick is a independent, strong, intelligent, classy, sexy, respected woman who makes moves, takes charge and is not afraid to work hard to get what she wants. A woman in control, a leader.
Who are your top 3 boss chicks of all time?
1.My Mum
2 Oprah
3. Princess Diana
Partisan Menes
