Music career

Shawnna was in a female rap duo called Infamous Syndicate who released an album: "Changing The Game" in 19992, but were then dropped by their record company, Relativity Records. After this, Shawnna and Teefa went their separate ways, Teefa to a radio career while Shawnna went solo in music, she was featured on a song by Brandy in 1999 called "U Don't Know Me (Like U Used To)" [Darkchild Remix] also with female rapper Da Brat. In 2000, she appeared on Ludacris's "What's Your Fantasy" although she had no verse on the song. After this, Ludacris' re-released his 1st album "Incognegro" (renamed "Back For The First Time") with 3 new tracks. 1 was a remix of "What's Your Fantasy" where the production was slightly remixed and 3 female rappers had a verse each, Foxy Brown, Trina & Shawnna3. After the "What's Your Fantasy" appearances, Ludacris showed interest in signing Shawnna and did in 2001 (when Ludacris's 2nd album "Word Of Mouf" was released- on which she was featured on the song "Get The F**k Back"4 and was featured in the album artwork). She also appeared on Mariah Carey's "Loverboy" from Mariah's "Glitter" album. The remix (track 1 on Mariah's album) also features Ludacris, Da Brat & Twenty II5


In 2002 she was on DTP's 1st album "Golden Grain"6 on the songs "Break Sumthin", "Growing Pains Remix (Do It Again)", "Posted", "Pimp Council", "R.P.M" & "N.S.E.W". Shawnna's debut album Worth tha Weight, originally scheduled to be released in October 2002, was delayed until September 28th 2004 when it was finally released7. It recieved little promotion due to disputes at Def Jam, however the album was well-received by critics, and spawned the singles "Shake Dat Shit" (featuring Ludacris) and "Weight a Minute"

In December 2005, she appeared on DTP's 2nd album "Ludacris presents Disturbing Tha Peace"8 however only on her solo song "Gettin' Some", which was also included on her 2nd album in 2006, on track 14 as a hidden track (not in album credits or on backcover) - and there was also a remix of this track (#4) on Shawnna's 2nd album featuring rappers Pharrell, Ludacris, Too Short & Lil' Wayne and a new verse by Shawnna

Shawnna's second album Block Music was released on June 27, 2006. Its sales have been initially lower than expected. The album has so far sold over 150,000 copies. In preparation of the album, Shawnna teamed up with Clinton Sparks, one of Rolling Stone's Top 10 mixtape producers, to release the official prelude to the album titled "Block Music: The Mixtape". This mixtape features exclusive tracks and freestyles as well as the official "Getting Some Head (All-Star remix)" featuring Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Jim Jones (rapper), Pimp C, Ludacris, Twista, Pharrell, Too Short, Lil' Wayne, Dre (of Cool & Dre), Pitbull and Sean J (of Field Mob). She was also announced as Artist of the week on Hollyscoop.com.


As of April 26, 2007, in an interview, Shawnna confirmed that she was no longer with DTP, but remains friends with everyone on the label.citation needed Although she has left DTP she is still considered to be on their label according to paperwork-said by Remy Ma. She said that she was happy to be an independent artist, and it was something she always wanted to do. She is managed through Hustle Period and has started her own label M.O.E., which stands for Money Over Everything. She was featured on the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack on the tracks "Block Reincarnated" (Shawnna feat. Kardinal Offishall) and "Slum" (I-20 feat. Shawnna).


In the October 2008 Issue for XXL Magazine, in the article featuring Ludacris, it is confirmed that Shawnna never left Disturbing Tha Peace.
