After self-financing an EP and a music video, Dahlia was brought to the attention of veteran record executive Sylvia Rhone by A&R representative Amanda Berkowitz. In 2012, describing Dahlia as "more than just a pop artist," Rhone signed her to her newly-launched label, Vested In Culture (VIC), a joint venture with Epic Records. Dahlia's debut album is set to come out in 2013, and will be VIC's inaugural release.
Dahlia's first single and video for VIC is the track "Gangsta", which MTV called "filled to the brim with fierce rapping". Shot in Miami, the video for "Gangsta" reflects the difficulties of her earlier life. The video, which was directed by Samantha Lecca, premiered on Vevo on March 5, 2013, and Dahlia was selected as a BET "Music Matters" artist.
Dahlia digitally released three songs, "Gangsta", "Money Party", and "Mirror" on March 5, 2013.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woah!
Sowing, sowing
Yeah you got a lot of bitches and they got a lot of wishes
They be feenin' for the riches, now you gotta give 'em more
My garden's wide of daisys
And it's untouched completeCheck here, my rhythm baby
My sky's been lookin' angry
My garden's wide of daisys
And it's untouched of sin
My root's been craving lately
To soak in your diamonds
Digging, you want it
And I want you laying on me
My flower beds calling your name (n-ame, n-ame)
I'll let your rain fall down if it sparkles like diamonds
Just let me wear the crown, my garden's appetizing
I'll let your rain fall down if it sparkles like diamonds
Just let me wear the crown, my garden's appetizing
Woah!

In the first verse of the song, Kat Dahlia calls out a man who has many women in his life who desire wealth and material things. She emphasizes on the fact that he has to give them more because they depend on him. In the chorus, she talks about her garden which is full of delicate flowers like daisies, and she compares it to her untouched soul which is complete and hungry for love. She sings about her "rhythm baby” and how she wants to soak in his diamonds. Kat Dahlia then uses rainfall as a metaphor, and she suggests that she wants only lavish things to enter her garden. She refers to her garden as appetizing, and she asks for a crown from her partner.
In the second verse, Kat Dahlia describes the emptiness that she sometimes feels, as her soul has not been satisfied for a long time. She sings that she is digging for something good, and she wants her partner to lay on her just like a flower bed. She repeats the line, "My flower beds calling your name," which could indicate that her inner self is searching for someone to complete her. She once again uses rain to symbolize wealth, comparing it to diamonds. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and Kat Dahlia screaming, "Woah" which shows strength and determination.
