Critical Praise for Kreayshawn: "A lovable oddball.." - GQ "Without a doubt, this year's earliest contender for song of the summer is "Gucci Gucci" - Gawker "Her mission is to help earthlings find their inner thug and so far she is succeeding in spades." - Andy Milonakis, Dazed & Confused The Song: Riding the success of her single "Gucci Gucci," Kreayshawn has announced that she'll be and directing Red Hot Chili Peppers' music video for "The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie" from their forthcoming album I'm With You. Kreayshawn has also announced dates for her upcoming mini-tour this August, which includes headlining dates in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, along with a performance at the POPPED! Music Festival in Philadelphia on September 24th. Tickets for the tour, along with limited edition city-specifc t-shirt packages, can be purchased now at www.Kreayshawn.com. Amidst all of these latest developments, Kreayshawn has released a new song, "Rich Whores." Leaked last week exclusively through her website as a thank you to fans, "Rich Whores" shines a spotlight on girls who, despite having money, shop at thrift stores. "When you go to fashion school in LA and San Francisco, there's a lifestyle that rubs off on you," says Kreayshawn. "I wanted to make a jam for all those girls, who sniff hella powder, shop at thrift stores and get the party crackin'." Atop trunk rattling bass, fuzzy blips, and pizzicato violin loops, Kreayshawn shout-outs everyone from pop icons The Spice Girls to Southern rap staple Gucci Mane. With a slow and steady pace, Kreayshawn playfully pokes fun at her targets with lyrics like "What up, bitch, I heard you to to FIDM / What up bitch, I see you dancing with no rhythm, " and "Her boyfriend's in an indie band and has a mustache / The music's fucking lame, he's looking like a muskrat." Despite the cheeky jabs, Kreayshawn's confident that all types of girls will dig it. "Girls can relate, they know who I'm talking about," she says, adding, "and the girls who I'm talking about will like it just as much.

The Background: A former film student at Berkeley Digital Film School who's directed videos for the likes of Lil B and Soulja Boy and had her work praised by Diplo, The Weeknd, Drake, and others, Kreayshawn, a self-described rapper, DJ, director, swag-assassin, and under-cat, has quickly taken the music world by storm. Initially building buzz with the release of her "Bumpin' Bumpin'" video, in mid-May, 2011, Kreayshawn released her video for "Gucci Gucci," a single from her forthcoming soon-to-be-titled debut album, that takes aim at those who define themselves through materialism while encouraging individuality and self-expression. The video quickly took off, being viewed over 200,000 times in 48 hours and reaching one million views in just over a week. Kreayshawn has since signed with Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment. Kreayshawn is currently prepping her upcoming album and doing spot dates in NY, Chicago, SF, LA, and Philly while "Gucci Gucci" makes it way to video and radio rotations and digital retailers worldwide.
