Shawnna called her new single "Damn," but only because "Baby Got Back" was already taken.
"It's about big booties," the Disturbing Tha Peace rapper said. "I saw the success of [my song] 'Gettin' Some' and how ladies like to be motivated and how we like to sing about some of our assets, so I said, 'Let me add on to that a little more.' "
"Damn" is Shawnna's follow-up to "Gettin' Some" — a hit from the second DTP compilation — and the first single from her second album, Block Music, released July 25. A "Gettin' Some" remix featuring Ludacris, Bobby Valentino, Pharrell, Lil Wayne and Too Short is featured on the new album.
Smoke from the Field Mob is featured on the booty-boosting anthem, rapping the hook, "Damn, she got a donkey."
Other guests on Block Music include Avant, Syleena Johnson, Johnny P, Shareefa, Malik Yusef and Shawnna's father, blues legend Buddy Guy, who appears on "Can't Break Me" and "Chicago." On "Damn," Shawnna reminds us she was born into music with the line, "My daddy got the paper/ I've been rich since I was 1."
Shawnna just dropped the "Damn" video and is putting together a fall outing.
"I'm trying to work on a tour with Yung Joc right now," she said. "Until then, I'm just promoting Shawnna. I love to rap, I love hip-hop, I love to be in the industry, so I'm not going anywhere, baby."
