Saweetie Shares New Single PISSED  Image

Continuing her breakthrough year as hip-hop's hottest new leading lady, Saweetie drops her latest single entitled "Pissed" (produced by Cronkite) today. Get it HERE via ICY/Artistry Records/Warner Bros. Records.

Propelled by a bombastic orchestral choir chant of her name, the rapper quickly slips into sassy and spirited verses, illuminating her deft wordplay and hard-hitting rhymes with throwback fire. It culminates on a catchy chant that's immediately quotable. Produced by Cronkite, it stands out as another massive anthem.

"Pissed" arrives hot on the heels of her London On Da Track collaboration, "Up Now" [feat. G-Eazy & Rich The Kid], which surpassed 8 million Spotify streams and clocked upwards of 7.8 million YouTube/VEVO views for the music video. Meanwhile, it earned looks from Complex, Rap-Up, and more.

Saweetie never stops making headlines. She recently made her major tour debut with Drake and Migos and shared the stage with Cardi B. In addition, she lent her voice for David Guetta's "I'm That Bitch."

Right now, Saweetie is putting the finishing touches on her highly anticipated next release, due out very soon. Her energy can be felt loud and clear on "Pissed."

ABOUT SAWEETIE:

Flaunting nineties rhyme reverence, fashion-forward fire, and endless charisma, SAWEETIE-born Diamonté Harper-can go bar-for-bar with the best of 'em, and fans and critics immediately recognized and responded to that. Within six months, she cracked 100 million cumulative streams, garnered a gold plaque, and earned the praise of Billboard, Fader, and Noisey as Los Angeles Times pegged her as "one to watch this year." Drawing on a passion for poetry and numerous years of rapping in the car, she turned her love for words into vivid verses during 2018 on the High Maintenance EP.

Born in Santa Clara of African-American and Chinese-Filipino descent and raised in Sacramento, the California native went from MVP status as a high school volleyball champ to becoming a shining student at USC. Initially, she deferred her rap dreams to achieve a degree in Communications before being discovered at a Downtown Los Angeles Puma event by current manager Max Gousse [Beyoncé, YG, Ty Dolla $ign]. At Artistry Studios, they produced her 2017 knockout viral smash "ICY GRL." Driven by a bulletproof flow and one clever line after another, it racked up 50 million YouTube views in a few months and over 31 million Spotify streams between the original and Kehlani remix, achieved a gold certification from the RIAA, and soared to #1 on Musical.ly. She also earned the early endorsement of gatekeepers such as Vibe, XXL, HipHopDX, and MTV. Touting a new partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Artistry Records for her label Icy, she's rewriting the rule book and breaking the stereotype of the female emcee. Armed with tracks like "B.A.N." and "Good Good," High Maintenance features production courtesy of Zaytoven, Hassan, Saweetie, Cash Money AP, and Gousse.

As a businesswoman, she teamed with Sprayground, Reebok, and Fashion Nova for high-profile partnerships. Meanwhile, everyone from David Guetta to Dua Lipa has enlisted her for guest spots. As a fashionista, Next Models signed her for modeling, and she graced the cover of Wonderland in addition to appearing in C.R. Fashion Book, Notion, and VFiles. Represented by CAA, she launches a full-scale headline tour this fall and readies her full-length debut for release soon.
