Meet 21-year-old female rapper, Dreezy, and her passion for women empowerment

Reppin’ for Chicago, Illinois, the 21-year-old rapper and songwriter Dreezy leaned deeply on writing during her childhood to vent her thoughts. Her skills and go-getter mentality got her a deal with Interscope Records by age 20 and the title of the “Princess of Chicago Rap.”

The female rapper dropped her latest 5-track EP “From Now On” late 2015 and most recently, her single “Body” featuring Jeremih, who’s also from Chi Town. Dreezy is now in full momentum to make a name for herself in the rap game.

Will we see a music video for “Body”? 
Yeah, I’m working on the choreo for the video. We gon be shooting a video real soon. The song was a different vibe for me. My label brought the track to me and they wanted me to work on it and I thought it was real different but when I got in there and wrote everything, it all came together and I knew Jeremih would sound good on it. He went crazy. 

Wha’s been the reaction with your EP “From Now On”?
I’m getting a lot of love, especially from the radio stations and new fans. A lot of blogs show love too and I think that’s really helping out the movement.

Being so young in the game, what are some advantages and disadvantages?
I think a lot of people didn’t take me serious but at the same time it’s an advantage because when they do find out…  Like a lot of people think I don’t write my own lyrics, they feel  I’m too young. It stopped me a lot of times when I couldn’t in the clubs and I was getting booked, but it worked out like I said because when they find out, they give me better respect for what I do. I like being young and doing it ’cause I got goals set for myself before I get to a certain age.

What do you wanna stand for during your rise to success?
I’m really towards just giving females somebody that they can look up to in music and I want my message to go to males too but I’m just really standing up for females right now because  we don’t have a lot of females in music. Boys have options and females don’t have too many. I wanna drop keys for the girls and just go crazy. 

What’s the message you want to give through your music?
Mostly what I’m going through right now, life lessons from a females point of view. I feel like I’m young and I’m doing a lot of stuff that people not doing at this age. I’m growing up and maturing at a fast rate and there’s people my age that need to hear this stuff. I moved to LA on my own, I’m chasing after my dream and I can’t let boys throw me off with my focus and I know there’s a lot people that wanna hear about that stuff. Whether you’re in school or working a 9 to 5, people got dreams and there’s music for everything but I don’ t think there’s a lot of music for that. 

Being a female rapper, I feel like there’s stereotypes like “you’re hard” and “emotionally stern” Does that affect your relationships? 
(laughs) It definitely does because I’m so strong-mined. I blame it on my zodiac sign (Aries) but it might be mostly because I’ve been through a lot of stuff at an early age. Just watching my momma and people around me go through stuff in relationships, it kinda made me hard and cold-hearted. It do affect my relationships because I’m not in one right now and I’m looking to be in one. I got standards. I’m all about me right now so it might be a good thing. 

You’ve been called the “Princess of Chicago Rap,” is there any pressure to that?
Nah, cause I’m trying to be the Queen. It’s a compliment and I appreciate that but I still got a long way to go and I need the crown, for real. 

Dreezy says she’s not holding back this year, fans can expect big records from the female rapper along with a possible album.
