Shawtee RE- 1st Lady of Da Game
Interviewee: Shawtee RE
It’s hard for female artists to succeed in Hip Hop industry, as there are very few even in the mainstream never mind underground scene. Shawtee RE is the first female rapper I have interviewed in two years; I mean that alone speaks for its self! Shawtee RE is an artist from Calgary Canada and calls herself “1st Lady of Da Game”; She has her own gangsta sound and stays confident in this dog eat dog industry. Shawtee RE tracks: “Bad Bitch”, “G Like Me”, “Rydin On My Coattailz”, and “I Aint Stoppin” are provocative, fun, and serious- taboot. She has been running her own label called “1st Lady Entertainment”, and recently obtained management with “7 figure Entertainment” in Miami USA. Her manager from 7 Figure Entertainment also has hosted a radio show called “The Street Corner” that plays Hip Hop, and it will be playing Shawtee RE’s tracks soon! She is ready to take the Hip Hop world by surprise. HOOKEDUPB puts her in the top four female rappers in Canada for her talent, uniqueness and drive. Shawtee Re was actually a recommendation for a feature in the mag! Once I heard her music I thought: I better get her on the phone for an interview… Once I did, we talked about her upcoming projects of course, but one answer that stands out and is highly respected was regarding Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim, take a look:
How did you get into or interested in the Rap game?
Well I’ve been rapping since I was on the yellow school bus, but really when I was 14 years old when I started writing my own tracks. I hung around many rappers, producers…everyone raps, I was jealous of all my homeboys and said this is where I wanna be- for real! So I was 14.
You have hosted the Street Corner Radio show in Aug. 2010; can you tell us about that experience?
Ah, actually it’s my manager: Redbeard (7 Figure Entertainment) that hosted that show. The radio show is Monday- Friday 8-10pm eastern time.
My music will be playing on there soon, so…
As a female artist do you feel it’s hard to be accepted and respected by other male rappers?
No, not at all actually! Honestly it’s how you look at it if your confident people are confident in you too. I haven’t had any problems really. If anything, I think I get more respect ‘cause I can do the same thing they can do!
You and Bobby Franchise are affiliated, will there be collaboration from you two in the future?
Oh for real that’s my home boy we met a few years ago, so he asked me to be on his mixtape and he will be on a few of mine also.
“Rydin On My Coattailz” is my fave track from you, which one is yours and why?
Oh ya, I like to hear that…I love “Rydin On My Coattailz” it’s going to be on the radio soon!
“3Sum” is a track I’m about to release. It’s a track I’m excited for, it’s a lot different than the other tracks that I have.
Can you give us the low down about what you think about the Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim situation?
Well I can’t speak for other people, but all I can say is that I have nothing but respect for people doing their thing no matter who you are!
What is your main focus at the moment: performances, new releases, networking, or studio time?
Everything, we do everything, I was in the studio today! Radio, performances, it’s getting hectic, but- its so worth it!
What’s next for Shawtee RE?
Um, my pre- album is coming out- “Riding on My Coattailz”. My mixtape is coming out hosted by G-Unit/ Shadyville DJ. The album will be coming out after that; I’m not releasing the name yet- its secret!
