I remember first learning of Kreayshawn when I was following Kat Stacks on Twitter(come on we all did it). Kat Stacks shared the video of Kreayshawn speaking on her thoughts of what Kat Stacks was doing as an industry, as a hoe, as a hoe in the industry, and as a industry hoe.
After I watched the video I was intrigued by this hood-sounding, blonde chick with the first connected nose ring I had seen since 1994. So I clicked on her other videos and found this single "Bumpin Bumpin" and fell in LOVE! I immediately had to have the song on my playlist. I played it for all my friends while I gave the Kat Stacks back story and everything. This girl was different and she wasn't afraid to stand out and be whatever she wanted to be.
Then things went silent for a while. She's an artist and a producer so she started posting weird "trippy" videos that are actually quite interesting when you are inebriated or under the influence of recreational narcotics(or so I've been told ;). But the music was nowhere to be found for a while.
Then all of a sudden I started seeing screen shots of what looked to be a music video on Tumblr, so I investigated. My suspicions were correct! Kreayshawn had come out with a new single and a new music video! Again I fell head over heels! She had actually sampled her first song, to aid in this new single, "Gucci Gucci."
Her popularity started buzzing after this. Lil' Wayne remixed it and she started working with bigger artists like Souljah Boy and 2 Chainz. She dropped a mixtape on DatPiff and it got mixed reviews. I personally hated it but then again I'm not into that chopped and screwed up non-rhyming music.
Recently, she released a single and music video for "Go Hard" off her debut album, "Somethin' Bout Kreay." It's on sale now and features stars like Kid Cudi and 2Chainz as well as her long time rode dogs, Diplo, Sissy Nobby, V-nasty and Chippy Nonstop. She even performed it live on the Jimmy Kimmel Show(big things)! I will have to admit, the album is well produced. Some of the songs are very fun. Even the song "Left Ey3" was feeding me a little gangster. And I honestly don't even hate her rendition of "Supersonic" entitled "K234ys0nixz", but I do, however, I hate her title naming choices.
This was my least favorite out of all of her singles but that's just personal preference.
Overall I would not recommend the album to any and everybody. There definitely is "Somthin' Bout Kreay." I have even gotten some of the most hard core guys I know to admit to finding her at the least, "interesting." But I would recommend for everyone to give her a shot, she's probably got at least one song you would bump somewhere for some reason.
