Rasheeda Buckner (born May 25, 1982),^[2] better known by her stage names Rasheeda or RaSheeda, is an American rapper.

Rasheeda was a member of the teenage hip-hop trio Da Kaperz until 2000 when she launched a solo career. Her fifth album, Certified Hot Chick, was released on August 18, 2009. She is also part of the R&B/hip-hop duo Peach Candy with R&B singer-songwriter Kandi Burruss.

Rasheeda is a cast member of VH1 hit reality television show Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.

Rasheeda had an early start to her career. As an adolescent she and two of her friends formed hip-hop girl group Da Kaperz. Da Kaperz signed with recording label D-Lo Entertainment, with whom she continues to work. Just a year later Rasheeda began her career as a solo artist. In 2001 she dropped her album Dirty South through D-Lo and Motown Records. Bolstered by guest stars like Pastor Troy and Re-Re, the album achieved some notoriety, with some considering the singles to be modern hip-hop anthems. Other artists who also collaborated on Dirty South include Thugz Nation and Nelly.

While Dirty South placed her firmly in the hip-hop genre, Rasheeda further refined her sound with her 2002 second album, Ghetto Dream, an indie release under D-Lo. The Ghetto Dream sound features faster rhythms, bolder beats, and assistance from Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz.

Rasheeda was featured on Nivea's Complicated. Soon after, Rasheeda released several successful mixtapes. Her efforts did not go unnoticed, and she quickly began to establish her name and unique brand. Rasheeda paid homage to her Southern roots with her third album, GA Peach. More intimate lyrics in GA Peach were combined with a slightly slower rhythm. The sexier, dirtier lyrics made it a favorite in the club circuits. With 2007's Dat Type of Gurl, Rasheeda reprised some of her earlier works from GA Peach. Many of her old tracks were updated with remixes and samples.

In 2012 Rasheeda landed a spot with her husband/manager Kirk Frost on VH1's Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta with whom she has a son and is expecting her second child. After the release of 'Certified Hot Chick' she released 4 volumes of her mixtapes 'Boss Bitch Music' and in 2012 she released her album Boss Chick Music through Google Play and her label D-Lo Entertainment, which featured a mixture of original songs from her mixtapes and new material. Her first single from the album was entitled "Marry Me" and her second "Legs To The Moon", both of which followed by a music video. In 2013 during the second season run of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta, Rasheeda shot a music video for 'Hit It From The Back'. She is currently running an apparel and accessory website "I'm Bossy". Rasheeda and her husband are expecting their second child.
