Whenever you refer to a female….the sentence usually begins with “she”, add an “e” for everything a woman is or aspires to be. Rap recording artist, SHEE, is the quintessential urban female and without question one of rap music’s fastest rising stars. A multifaceted artist that hasn’t jumped on any passing bandwagon, SHEE consistently creates material in tune with the demands of the street while avoiding material derivate of what’s already out there. With a distinctive voice, unique flow and the unmatched ability to pen concepts and lace them with infectious hooks - irrespective of gender, never has the rap game seen an MC this complete.
With continuous verbal assaults and enough local notoriety and street cred to back it up it was only a matter of time before SHEE developed a legion of fans in both the Empire State and the Garden State. Also, the July 2004 launching of www.SHEEmusic.com significantly expanded her listener base. SHEE has been the spotlight/featured artist in Young & Black Magazine, Muse’s Muse, Street Rapz, Streetzclusive, Eraport and more. Solidifying her position, SHEE builds anticipation for her ‘Vaginal Erections’ album by performing at a series of venues throughout the tri-state area, supplying promotional samplers and marketing her music with a variety of unconventional, but successful techniques. Already receiving excellent reviews, her highly anticipated full-length debut album, ‘Vaginal Erections’ is about balancing soft with hard - reflective of both her music and lifestyle. Whether it’s the commercial club-banger “Work Clothes”, the hard-hitting politically motivated “Rebel” or the trademark spit-fire hood-anthem “We In Flatbush” - SHEE shows she isn’t one dimensional by displaying her lyrical dexterity and taking listeners on a wild ride through the various elements of her character. SHEE proudly states, “My life is a snapshot of what it means to be an independent Black woman in urban America - this album is the soundtrack to that life, my life, the life of a woman that takes no mess, knows what she wants, gets what she wants and accepts nothing less.”
Born and raised in Flatbush, Brooklyn’s infamous drug and crime ridden Vanderveer Housing Complex (currently Flatbush Gardens), Rasheedah Andrews, dubbed “SHEE” from early childhood was the first of what went on to be six children. Born to a Trinidadian mother and an African-American father only 14 years her senior, SHEE inherited a number of responsibilities that resulted in her carrying a level of maturity that far exceeded her age. SHEE faced a number of challenges - playing mother to younger siblings, having to find sources of income which ultimately led to involvement with illegal activity, constant fighting which resulted in legal troubles and discrimination among other things - all while trying to find herself in an environment that provided every possible excuse to fail.
Never the type of person to accept failure, SHEE refused to become another statistic. She worked on developing credentials to validate her in the business world while she continued to hone her craft to follow her dream of being a driving force in the rap world. A true testament of intelligence, determination and character, SHEE went on to be the first in her family to obtain a 4 year college degree, earning a total of 3 degrees by the age of 22. SHEE currently owns Sheer Badness Entertainment, a full-service independent record label and SHEEsoFly, a web based travel agency, powered by the YTB Network.
