‘Sponsor’ singer Teairra Mari has certainly found a sponsor in superproducer Rico Love since she joined his Division 1 imprint. Turning the lights on the ‘Hunt 4 U’ songstress’ hunt for a hit, the two have cooked up ‘U Did That’ – the latest offering from Mari. Set for inclusion on her next, yet-titled venture, we’ve already introduced you to the making of the mix.
Now, with the feature of rapper 2 Chainz, the former Roc princess is pushing envelopes to new heights to earn buzz for this sexy, slow jam.
Hear Mari do her thang on ‘U Did That’ after the jump:
Rico may be stuck on repeat, but we must say Mari did that – on the vocal tip. The delivery was strong and assured, something that definitely helped sell the song. Even in such, the song may be hot – but in parts, its a little TOO hot. Much like her ‘Daddy’s Home Remix’, the suggestive lyrics might just be a little bit too much right now for an artist clearly trying to find her identity.
It’s one thing to be experimental or forward, but it’s another thing to be…well…extra. Such, as we know, is a trick Mari has pulled out of one too many hats and failed.
Here’s hoping ‘Did That’ does what Mari and co. are hoping it does. As it is sure to get people talking, we hope its not completely indicative of what she – as talented as a vocalist as she is – is offering this next go round.

This chick will never happen because she’s selfish.
2 Chainz ruined this.

I mean the song is cool but this chick can never do nothing right in my eyes selfish ghetto troll…#isaidit

Love her and the song!
She from Detroit she’s def not Ghetto…And Please Teairra is on Love & Hip pop so she gets pleaty of exposure.

SOME OF U ASSHOLES NEED 2 THINK DIVISION 1 AINT NO MAJOR LABEL
AND RICO IS HER ONLY PRODUCER….MEANING IF HE WORKING WITH OTHER CHICKS ON THE SAME PLAYING AS HER AS SHE SAID ON THE SHOW

Don’t try to school me; go to school. You need better words to use because calling me your mother’s name is not cool at all. If I feel she’s selfish, this is a blog, and I am entitled to express whatever I want.

2 CHAINS IS LAME.. MAKES NO SENSE
GET IT TEAIRRA.. YESSS
Y’ALL MUST BE SOME f****** LOSERs…how can you not know who two chainz is?? F****** losers an tiearra mari is the best I love the haters!
I can’t say that I hate this. I think it has a chance. Not maybe something that would dominate the charts though. I will say that this is more of a hit that she has had in latter years. It gave me Ciara ‘Promise’ a little. I expected a little more out of this though… 7.5 out of 10.
Don’t Hate Just Appreciate Music For What It Is, Don’t Like It Don’t Listen It’s Simple..
