Kreayshawn is a rapper from Oakland, California whose song, "Gucci Gucci," is approaching 2 million views on Youtube after only being uploaded 2 weeks ago. It's already pulling in some adds at Rhythmic.
There are conflicting reports on her label situation, but apparently, she just signed a deal with Sony for over 1 million dollars.
This is girl is atrocious. Yeah, the song is catchy, but I can't believe ANY label is willing to sign her.

The Internet has been buzzing about Oakland-bred visual artist Kreayshawn (Kray-shawn), whose viral video for “Gucci Gucci” has racked up 2.5 million views on YouTube. Now Columbia Records plans to make her a household name. The label, home to Beyoncé, John Legend, and Maxwell, has signed the rapper to a lucrative deal.
The 21-year-old, born Natassia Zolot, will release her single to digital retailers on June 14 with her full-length debut album to follow later this year. In the guerilla-style clip for “Gucci Gucci,” the tatted Kreayshawn calls out the “basic b*tches” who obsess over brand names. She is joined by her fellow White Girl Mob member, stylist, and DJ L1L D3BB13 as she raps in front of designer stores on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
“I’m excited to work with my new Columbia family,” stated Kreayshawn, who has directed videos for Lil B and Soulja Boy. “They understand my vision and are going to let me continue everything I’ve been doing. My hope is to inspire others to be young, wild, and free.”
She described herself in less than picturesque words on her website. “I’m a piece of s**t but, I am raw talent. Nothing but, unfiltered pain and torture I received as a child in the cold world,” she wrote. “Nothing’s nice about my style. I just got s**t to do. Art is my means to my hustle. I just wanna share everything with everyone.”

She lit up the ‘net with her rap-sung covers of Wiz Khalifa’s “On My Level” and Mac Miller’s “Donald Trump,” and now Neon Hitch takes on Kreayshawn’s viral sensation “Gucci Gucci.” The British singer strolls the streets of New York hawking counterfeit bags, browsing through a closet full of clothes, and kicking cold rhymes inside a refrigerator in the accompanying visuals.
“Bad Dog,” the lead single off her debut album Beg, Borrow, and Steal, is available now on iTunes.

This actually might crack the Top 40 at Pop!
It's still chugging along there and no songs above it gaining spins.
