Kreayshawn (aka Natassia Zolot) got a video camera at age ten and started making and editing her own videos for several years before formally trying her hand at music. Although she’s a high school dropout, Kreayshawn landed a scholarship to study film at the Berkeley Digital Film Institute. During that time, she started making videos for artists based in and around San Francisco, including Lil B. In 2010, Kreayshawn began releasing her music to a wider audience, and her second single, the ultra-catchy “Gucci Gucci” became a surprise hit that spring. For her 2012 debut full-length, Somethin ‘Bout Kreay, she brought in collaborators such as Kid Cudi and Diplo. She’s become a subject of some controversy for her lyrics and cultural appropriation, imagined and otherwise, but Kreayshawn’s rhymes are, at worst, playfully raunchy.
