Teairra Marí

Using a name that’s nearly an anagram for “Teena Marie,” Teairra Marí broke out nationally in 2005 with an individual titled “Make Her FEEL GREAT.” Upon hearing the tune, you could’ve been forgiven for convinced that the Teena Marie connection operates just a little deeper, taking into consideration Marí’s pouty delivery and assertive lyrics. In fact a Detroit indigenous with no hereditary romantic relationship to her elder, Marí’s initial discharge was an EP released through the indie K.We.S.S. Productions. The disk made its method in to the hands of Isle Def Jam chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid, as soon as he noticed Marí sing personally, he provided a agreement. Marí released her debut recording on the Isle Def Jam-distributed Roc-A-Fella, with complete support from Roc-A-Fella mind Jay-Z, in August 2005. Though it reached quantity five around the Billboard 200 graph — despite small in the form of advertising — Marí was consequently decreased from her label. She was educated the night time of her high-school prom. Later on picked up from the Warner-affiliated Asylum label, Marí came back to the graphs this year 2010 with “Sponsor,” offering Gucci Mane and Soulja Young man Tell Em.
