Her songs and vocals have been heard by millions, earning multiple awards and countless accolades, but only now is Sevyn Streeter poised to take her own place in the spotlight. The acclaimed singer/songwriter is currently readying her eagerly awaited Atlantic debut album, a bright and brazen mix of pop, soul, hip-hop, and R&B, spiced by her characteristic gospel-inspired vocals and knack for irrepressible hooks and harmonies.
Sevyn grew up in Haines City, Florida where she first discovered her voice while singing in church. She began performing regularly, winding up on the legendary stage of New Yorkβs Apollo Theatre at just 10 years old. The following years saw her honing her craft with tours alongside Bow Wow, B2K, Mario and Beyonce and well received TV performances on Soul Train, Showtime At The Apollo, and the annual Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.
An avowed student of R&B, soul, and hip-hop β with influences spanning Michael and Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, Tank and Dru Hill, Jagged Edge and 112 β Sevyn furthered her musical vision by mastering the craft of songwriting. She quickly proved to be an in-demand writer and vocalist, called upon by a remarkable roster of top studio superstars, including Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Babyface, Polow da Don, Jean Baptiste/Free School, Pop & Oak, and The Runners, among others.
In 2011, Sevyn co-wrote singles featured on acclaimed albums by two extraordinary R&B icons, Kelly Rowlandβs "HERE I AM" and Mary J. Blige's "MY LIFE II...THE JOURNEY CONTINUES", but her breakthrough came with the arrival of Chris Brown's massively successful "F.A.M.E." The album saw Sevyn co-writing a number of the album's biggest singles β including "Next To You (Feat. Justin Bieber)", "Wet The Bed (Feat. Ludacris)", and the million-selling smash, "Yeah 3x" β while her distinctive voice can be heard on such tracks as the top 5 R&B/Hip-Hop hit, "She Ain't You." "F.A.M.E." proved an unqualified pop sensation, receiving RIAA gold certification and the 2012 Grammy Award for "Best R&B Album." The phenomenal success of "Yeah 3x" and "Wet The Bed" earned Sevyn a prestigious pair of ASCAP Awards, acknowledging the tracks among the year's most-performed songs.
Just one year later, Brown once again enlisted Sevyn's songwriting services for his #1 blockbuster, "FORTUNE." This time out, the Grammy-winning superstar chose to highlight her remarkable voice on a number of duets as well as backing vocals throughout. As if that werenβt enough, Sevyn can be seen in Brownβs MTV Video Music Award-winning clip, "Turn Up The Music."
A remarkably prolific songwriter, Sevyn's songs will be heard on an array of upcoming albums from such stars as Brandy, Fantasia, and Kelly Rowland. Her most recent songwriting successes include "New Day", the Swizz Beatz-produced lead single from Alicia Keys' hugely anticipated new album, "GIRL ON FIRE."
Blessed with boundless talent and effervescent energy, Sevyn is now focused like a laser beam on her as-yet untitled solo debut. With a powerhouse sound that's not dissimilar from the gifted young artist herself β soulful and sophisticated, sexy and strong, heartfelt and honest, flirty and fun β Sevyn is finally ready to join the ranks of her heroes at the center of the stage and the top of the charts.

Prolly, prolly
Did I go too far tonight?
I don't know, prolly
Did I almost start a fight?
I don't know, prolly
Did I spend too much tonight?
All these niggas tryna fuck?
I don't know, prolly
Prolly, prolly, prolly
I don't know, prolly
Snapchat be so lit yo
Feelin' bent like a limbo, oh my
Careless hands on whips, boy
Cup filled with liquor
He roll his Swisher
She owe me like Twista, oh
Falling like that
Flirting with disaster, huh, you prolly cum fast
Hm, ha-ha-ha-ha
Get up out my face, I don't like that
I won't apologize for nothin'
I'm on the edge like a rectangle
Thinkin' outer lines or somethin'
Prolly, prolly
Did I go too far tonight?
I don't know, prolly
Did I almost start a fight?
I don't know, prolly
All these niggas tryna fuck?
I don't know, prolly
Did I spend too much?
I'm in a 4 AAGTB, with my shooters right behind me in a SRT
AK's, AR's, 223's, I'd rather hear Free Gucci than RIP's
Neck full of stones, RIP to Pimp C
Drunk so many pints damn near OD'd
Now the feds, ATF, and the local police
Say I'm a career criminal, ACC
Party-party-party hard little nigga
I tear the club down then I shut the mall down nigga
That's your girl? That's your word? I could prolly get her
We in Californ', then I'm prolly with her
Yeah you gettin' money but I'm prolly richer
Think Chanel Blue 'cause I'm prolly bitter
The way she think about it and the way I figure
Ain't no prolly, I'm that nigga
Oh-ohh, did I go too far tonight?
I don't know, prolly
Oh-ohh, did I almost start a fight?
I don't know, prolly
Oh-ohh, all these niggas tryna fuck?
I don't know, prolly
Oh-ohh, did I spend too much? Did I spend too much?
Where my freaks at?
Where my freaks at?
I got one bottle, two bottles
Three bottles, what's one more?
In the club now, no work tomorrow
So I ain't even turning down now
I'm already out of body
I'm already out of body
Don't blame me for my desire
When you find me, you'll find a good time

The song "Prolly" is a collaborative effort between Sevyn Streeter and Gucci Mane. The lyrics of the song deal with self-doubt and introspection, questioning one's actions and behavior, and the consequences that may arise from those actions. The chorus "Did I go too far tonight? I don't know, prolly" indicates that the singer is unsure about the extent of their actions and the impact they may have had on themselves or others.
The first verse of the song begins with the singer admitting to being intoxicated and reckless. She mentions Snapchat, implying that she may have been sharing her exploits with her followers. The lines "Flirting with disaster, huh, you prolly cum fast / Get up out my face, I don't like that" suggest that the singer may have gotten into an altercation or almost started a fight with someone, possibly due to being under the influence of alcohol. The lyrics also mention other men trying to initiate sexual contact with the singer, indicating that she may have been the object of unwanted attention.
The second verse starts with Gucci Mane, who raps about his wealth, criminal record, and party lifestyle. He boasts about his expensive possessions, such as his car, guns, and jewelry, and suggests that he is at the top of his game. He also mentions his willingness to pursue women, even if they are someone else's girlfriend. His verse contrasts with Sevyn's, indicating a gender divide in how men and women are allowed to behave in similar situations.

Obviously people didn't listen to her interview on the breakfast club...she said she has grown as an artist and she believes her fans can grow with her as well. She's an amazing artist she can switch up her sound she doesn't always have to do a ballad. I don't give a damn if Sevyn sings "the wheels on the bus" I'm still gonna love it because I love Sevyn and I'm a die hard fan of hers. Point blank...Sevyn I'm riding with you ππβ€οΈπ―

Joey Teter
Every once in a while an artist needs to make a "radio" song that's going to get people's attention or just to find out about an artist that maybe they haven't been exposed to yet, that's what this is imo. Dope beat and shit but a simple club song to hit airwaves. And man do I love me some Sevyn π
Sir. Dave
Her album gone be dope as fuck! I see this as being a buzz single to introduce the new era of her album. Like one of those interludes or intro songs that's the 1st song on the album, setting the mood of the project.
Shoutout to her and her team for this video!
