Her sound is equivalent to that of fellow Bay Area rapper, Lil B and her style is reminiscent of Madonna, Lady Gaga, and MIA, so who is Kreayshawn?
The Oakland based rapper, singer/songwriter, and director is creating some buzz with her latest single “Gucci Gucci” in which she lazily raps about how designer labels are for “basic bitches” but are too confining for her eclectic style.
The song itself is not half bad, but it is hit and miss with the lyrics.
The 21 year old raps, “Gucci, Gucci, Louie, Louie, Fendi, Fendi, Prada, basic bitches wear that shit so I don’t even bother,” the nursery rhyme like hook is about as good as it gets lyrically.
While “Gucci Gucci” is not on the 2010 mixtape Kittys x Choppas, it should have been, because there are no gems on this compilation.
The 20 track mixtape sounds like there was no effort put into the production or lyrics. The lyrics are a bit lax and the beats are less than great, however the party track “They Wanna Kill Me” would have listeners nodding their heads. It sounds a lot like club mix founded in the Baltimore club scene. But once again, the lyrics are not cohesive and are obnoxious.
Song after song, Kittys x Choppas sounds like the senseless rambling of someone coming off a hallucinogenic drug.
According to mtv.com, Kreayshawn has nabbed herself a record deal with Columbia Records and was allotted the privilege of directing the music video for the legendary Red Hot Chili Pepper’s latest single “The Adventure of Raindance Maggie” off their upcoming album I’m With You, the video is set to released by the end of this month.
Despite the disappointing mixtape, there’s something about this foul-mouthed, bad ass that is interesting and intriguing. If Kreayshawn keeps perfecting her craft we may just see what that “something” is.
