Music beginnings
Rasheeda Frost started her music career as a member of the hip hop trio Da Kaperz, under D-Lo Entertainment. In 2000, she launched her solo career.

On March 27, 2001, she released her album Dirty South, through D-Lo & Motown Records. The album featured guest appearances from Pastor Troy, Thugz Nation, Nelly & Re-Re. The album achieved some notoriety, due to the success of her first single "Do It".[citation needed] Dirty South would place Rasheeda firmly in the southern hip-hop genre.[citation needed]
Rasheeda further refined her sound with her second album, 2002's A Ghetto Dream, an independent release under her label D-Lo after leaving Motown Records.[citation needed] A Ghetto Dream features faster rhythms, bolder beats, and assistance from Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz.[citation needed] In 2004, Rasheeda was featured on Petey Pablo's single "Vibrate" & Nivea's single "You Like It Like That".[citation needed]
2007–09: Dat Type of Gurl & Certified Hot Chick
On June 19, 2007 Rasheeda released her fourth album, Dat Type of Gurl. The album gained much success due to the success of her first single from the album "Got That Good (My Bubble Gum)", originally featured on GA Peach. Rasheeda reprised some of her earlier works from GA Peach, and many of her old tracks were updated with remixes and samples. In 2007, Rasheeda was featured on Mims single "Like This". Around this time, she formed a hip hop/R&B duo Peach Candy with R&B singer-songwriter Kandi Burruss.[3]
In the summer of 2009, D-Lo Entertainment partnered with independent record label Block Starz Music to release Rasheeda's debut mixtape Certified.[4][5][6] On August 18, 2009 Rasheeda released her fifth album Certified Hot Chick. She later started releasing her Boss Bitch Music series mixtapes.[citation needed]

On June 18, 2012, she released her sixth album Boss Chick Music which was released through Google Play and her label D-Lo Entertainment, and promoted on the tenth season of Bad Girls Club: Atlanta and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.[citation needed] Her first single from the album was entitled "Marry Me" and her second single was "Legs To The Moon", both of which were followed by a music video.[citation needed] In 2013, during the second season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Rasheeda shot a music video for "Hit It From The Back".[citation needed]
