Dreezy

Rapper, singer, and actress Dreezy merges assertive, confident rhymes with silky R&B choruses atop lively pop-trap beats. Emerging from Chicago’s South Side in the first years of the 2010s, the MC first drew notice when her underground remix work reached fellow Chicago native Common. Following multiple self-released mixtapes and EPs, she issued her Interscope debut album No Hard Feelings in 2016, which featured the platinum-certified “Body” alongside Jeremih and the gold-certified “Close to You” with T-Pain. After parting ways with the label she issued the 2022 project Hitgirl, a full collaboration with Hit-Boy, and dropped the standalone single “Bitch Duh” in 2024.

Born Seandrea Sledge, she began writing rhymes at fourteen under the sway of J. Cole and Lil Wayne. Early guest spots appeared on tracks by Sasha Go Hard and Lil Durk, while she also dropped the 2012 mixtape The Illustration, the 2013 joint effort Business N Pleasure with Mikey Dollaz, and the 2014 release Schizo. That same year she unveiled her own take on Nicki Minaj’s “Chiraq,” whose rapid climb past half a million views prompted Common to feature her on “Hustle Harder” from his album Nobody’s Smiling. In 2015 she signed with Interscope and put out the EPs Call It What You Want and From Now On.

No Hard Feelings arrived the following year and carried her first lead single to chart, “Body” featuring Jeremih. The project opened at number 15 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums tally and number 101 on the Billboard 200 before earning platinum status. Subsequent releases included the 2017 track “Spar” with 6lack and Kodak Black and the 2018 cut “2nd to None” with 2 Chainz. Later that year “Where Them $ @” and “Chanel Slides” featuring Kash Doll surfaced and later appeared on her January 2019 sophomore album Big Dreez. Around the same time she made her screen debut in the film Beats.

After leaving Interscope in 2020 she began operating independently, logging guest appearances on projects by King Von and Icewear Vezzo before teaming with Hit-Boy for the 2022 album Hitgirl. She also joined Lady London on the 2023 single “Yea Yea.” In 2024 she released “Bitch Duh” as a solo track and later supplied a remix version that added BIA, KenTheMan, and Lakeyah.
