AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Dreezy

Artist:Dreezy f/Jeremih

Song:Body

Album:No Hard Feelings

Rapper and singer Seandrea "Dreezy" Sledge scored a top ten R&B hit with the 2016 single Body. After two albums for Interscope, she left to start her own label. I'm not sure that was a good idea. She was born Mar. 28, 1994 in Chicago. She got into singing and writing as a child and then rapping as a teen. J. Cole is her main influence. After making guest appearances with rappers Sasha Go Hard and Lil Durk, Seandrea released a couple of mixtapes. After Vice Magazine named her Princess of Chicago Rap and Interscope signed her Dec. 2014. After releasing a couple of 2015 EPs, Seandrea's debut album No Hard Feelings was released in 2016. The single Body featuring rapper Jeremih reached #62 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #8 on the R&B Singles chart. It was certified Platinum. Jeremih is featured prominently on the record so it makes me think his fans were a lot of the audience for this record. Seandrea wrote all the songs on the album with various producers. Body was produced and co-written by Michael "BloodPop" Tucker. He has worked with Madonna, Justin Bieber and especially Lady Gaga. Of course Jeremih got a songwriting credit and so did Brittany "Starrah" Hazzard who has written hits for Rihanna among others. Other guests on the album include Gucci Mane, Wale and T-Pain. This album is available as a digital download. When Seandrea's 2019 album Big Dreez didn't do as well as the first album, she left Interscope to start her own label. She is now working exclusively with producer Hit-Boy and the album Hitgirl was released May 2022. Though it's not clear why Seandrea left Interscope, there may have been management changes there and the new regime may have not been happy with her creative direction. Just guessing but that happens at big record companies. I think she will have a tough time promoting herself. She could write and produce for others. Here's the video for Body by Dreezy featuring Jeremih.
