The North Philly Puerto Rican MC first signed to Roc-a-Fella Records in 2001 with the help of Freeway, a friend of Peedi since high school who had already joined the label through Beanie Sigel and his State Property entourage. In 2002, Peedi's debut single, "One for Peedi Crakk," charted in the R&B/hip-hop Top 40. He continued to make appearances on various Roc-a-Fella albums, including Jay-Z's The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse and Freeway's Philadelphia Freeway. His guest appearances were usually standouts, and his mixtapes gave him a reputation among East Coast rap fans. Faced with increasing exposure, the Philly rapper decided to modify his rap name to Peedi Peedi.
However, in 2005, two problems greatly affected Peedi's career. State Property dissolved, and Roc-a-Fella Records formally split into two. Jay-Z remaining at Def Jam with 50 percent, and Roc-a-Fella co-founder Dame Dash taking the other 50 percent to Universal Records under his Dame Dash Music Group. Peedi refused to side with Sigel and Dame Dash, and was briefly a free agent until Jay-Z, who soon became the president of Def Jam and maintained the Roc-a-Fella catalogue at the label, signed him. Peedi began working on a debut album, Prince of the Roc, but it was continuously delayed.
In 2006, Peedi was featured on Game Theory, the first Def Jam release by fellow rap group The Roots, on its single "Long Time". Shortly afterwards, Roots drummer and leader ?uestlove offered Peedi a provisional spot with the group. Peedi stated he would welcome the chance to join The Roots. The one single for his shelved album, "Take Me Home," was released in 2007. Peedi became at odds with the label over his album, and tensions developed between him and Jay-Z. Peedi decided to lash out against the executive/rapper in the press and leaked several Jay-Z diss tracks, before he was released from his contract in 2008. Peedi then signed with Internet-based label Amalgam Digital, and planned the release of an album called Camel Face Hunting Season for September 2008; rather than released, his record was renamed and pushed back.
Originally planning his debut album, A Night in the Life, for March 24th, it was later pushed back to May 2009. It now has no known release date.

Pass another shot of that Patron
Shorty I'm goin', why chu goin' with me
After this, tonight I'm goin' home
You wanna come, shorty come with me
Now I wanna see you get your hands up
Shorty wanna shake it for me
Ladies if you with me, get your hands up
Lil nasty bitch
Cute face, slim waist, nice ass and tits
It's a damn shame that lil' sweet thing ain't nothin' but a freak thing
"In Love With A Stripper" like T-Pain
Er' weekday, up in the club like Lis' Raye
Makin' niggas make it rain like Lil Wayne
Boy, mami tottsie rollin' that pole
I ain't Peedi Peedi baby, I just know what I know
Call me Iceberg baby, Pimpin' Ken on a stroll
Got the right one baby, wouldn't give you a cold
No, but I could give you the coat
Pimps up, hoes down, bank roll all froze
Mack keep em looking pretty, but won't give em no dough
Uncle Diddy run the city, butch you ain't know?
Now let that thing bounce, drop slow
And show out your outsides, you know how it go, oh
[Chorus]
I'm at my maximum, I'm fully loaded
Baby girl c'mon, roll with it
Don't be askin' them if I'm gon bomb
Like the atom or the a-tom, just order the dom
B Mack and them, you better know it
Nab hoes, after the show, she gon show it
That hoe, I told you she gon do it
The loads is full, she let me smash in the Buick
I'm comin' for clothes, these hoes, we goin' through it
Pull out my gat, she though I was goin' shoot her
Mr. P Crakk Cocaine, I got rulers
My mind in the gutter, and my heart in the sewer
I kick a bitch to the curb, I keep it movin'
Married to the game, I love my money and my music
Half Puerto Rican and black, they think I'm Jewish
I don't give em shit, and they keep comin' back to it
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now come and sit yo big ass down
Right here on daddy legs, now hush, take a sip of the brown
Lap dance on it, leave a white stain on my Levis
This the twat team, I'm a show you how we ride
Through a lasso over your hips, rustle your mean thighs
You bow-legged too? I'm a hit it from all sides
Uh huh, we brought the bar, you bought the bar
Beans got the big lighter out, waiting to spark
Word up, dance floors, noise, asses shaking
And she winding that body like she got Jamaican
Asians, sistas, blacks, bad Caucasians
Get em all Goosed up, then I persuade them
To bounce to the c-r-i-b
Shorty to young, sorry, gotta chill in the lobby
It's the penthouse, big couch, get digged out
You bring your lil' male friends, I get kicked out
[Chorus]
In "Shake" by Peedi Peedi, the artist raps about going to the club and seeing a girl with a cute face, slim waist, nice ass, and tits. He talks about how she is a freestyle and that she dances on the pole. The artist then talks about the different types of women at the club, including Puerto Rican, African American, and even Asians. He persuades all of them to bounce to the C-R-I-B with him, but only the chosen one will stay with him until the morning. The song is meant to be a party song where people can dance and have a good time.
One interesting fact about "Shake" is that it was released in 2009 as a single but was originally supposed to be on Peedi Peedi's album "Prince of the Roc." The song was produced by the Neptunes, who produced for many popular artists, including Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z. Peedi Peedi was signed to Roc-a-Fella Records, which was founded by Jay-Z in 1995. Another interesting fact is that "Shake" was featured on the soundtrack of NBA Street Homecourt, a popular basketball video game.
The chords for "Shake" are not available at this time.

Pull out my gat, she though I was goin' shoot her
I pulled out my gun and she thought I was going to shoot her
Mr. P Crakk Cocaine, I got rulers
I am known as Mr. P Crakk Cocaine, and I have power
My mind in the gutter, and my heart in the sewer

I kick a bitch to the curb, I keep it movin'
I quickly dismiss a woman and move forward with my life
Married to the game, I love my money and my music
I am committed to the entertainment industry; I value my money and music highly
Half Puerto Rican and black, they think I'm Jewish
Some people mistakenly think I am Jewish because of my race
I don't give em shit, and they keep comin' back to it
I don't do anything for them, but they still come back
Now come and sit yo big ass down

Right here on daddy legs, now hush, take a sip of the brown
Come sit on my lap and have a drink
Lap dance on it, leave a white stain on my Levis
Dance on my lap and leave a visible stain
This the twat team, I'm a show you how we ride

You bow-legged too? I'm a hit it from all sides
You're bow-legged too? I am going to engage in sexual activity with you from various angles
Uh huh, we brought the bar, you bought the bar
We brought our people here, and you paid for the drinks
Beans got the big lighter out, waiting to spark
Beans has a lighter and is ready to smoke
Word up, dance floors, noise, asses shaking
There's loud music on the dance floor, and people are dancing sensually
And she winding that body like she got Jamaican
She is dancing provocatively as if she were Jamaican
Asians, sistas, blacks, bad Caucasians
There are different races and types of women present
Get em all Goosed up, then I persuade them
I get them drunk and then convince them to do what I want
To bounce to the c-r-i-b
To come back to my place
Shorty to young, sorry, gotta chill in the lobby
You're too young; I'm sorry, but you have to wait in the lobby
It's the penthouse, big couch, get digged out
We are in the penthouse, on a big couch, engaging in sexual activity
You bring your lil' male friends, I get kicked out
If you bring male friends, I will be kicked out
Shake it, shake it, shake it for me
Dance sensually for me
