Dondria - Shawty Wus Up
Artist: Dondria
Featuring: Johnta Austin , Diamond
Producer: Jermaine Dupri & Ced Keyz
Album: Dondria vs. Phatfffat
Label: So So Def
Though many still subscribe to the notion that a man’s got to make the first move, Dondria is one woman who knows what she wants, and is willing to take the initiative to get it. On the second single off her long-delayed debut set, the So So Def singer gives ladies a lesson in assertiveness. Rather than waiting for a fella to say “Shawty Wus Up,” she approaches him: “Tell me what you like, boy, tell me what’s your name. I don’t need you to buy me a drink, / I got my own cash and I got my own crew, so tell me what you’re drinkin’ baby, I’ll buy it for you.” Joining the headliner over Jermaine Dupri and Ced Keyz’ pizzicato-string instrumental, Take It Back singer Johnta Austin plays the role of the man in question (who, as it turns out, shares Dondria’s interest). On the back end, homie-smashing femcee Diamond shows a similarly empowered attitude as she tests out her powers of seduction on another male clubgoer. A catchy track with a unique concept, Wus Up can be found on the singer’s Dondria vs. Phatfffat LP, set to (finally!) hit stores August 3.

With "You're The One" climbing out charts since its release last November, I was slightly surprised to see Dondria's camp unleash another single at this time. However, after careful thought, it all makes sense. "You're The One" is the radio record and "Shawty Wus Up" is strictly for the clubs (who were not playing the first record).
JD, as always, creates an infectious beat for Dondria, which she is able to handle easily. In the end, you'd be hard pressed to argue with the overall catchiness of this single. A female empowerment jam featuring two young and trendy female artists? I smell a potential hit.

JD is a great producer (bad rapper now) and he and Ced Keys do their thing on this production. I can hear this in the clubs which is why this was probably made. Pretty decent song.

Eh, not bad, but she got to come harder. Her guest features did nothing AT ALL for me.

For the first twenty seconds I thought this was Kelly Rowland. Tell me they don't sound alike.
Anyway, in typical J.D. fashion I can't help but find this catchy as hell. I got a feeling I'll still have this stuck in my head an hour from now.

a solid 3 stars
the production what makes this stand out but I cant really see anything else that makes me really really like this song. Kind of slightly above the generic r&b of today |

Glad to see that Jermaine is behind the boards this time and not a featured guest. Dondria has some nice vocals, but the top spot goes to Johnta Austin. His verse was pretty epic and I really think that it helped elevate the track to something more than just average.
I liked the hook, verses and production so... in rotation this goes. |

I like this song but Dondria's voice sounds a bit uneventful, un-enthusiastic (if thats a word). Johnta Austin's verse sounds alot better to me (Even though he sounds like Trey Songz on this track). He has more feeling in his delivery, where as Dondria is just not animated. I give it a 2 because its not bad, it just didn't grab me, but I still see it making it to radio. Its a good start, lets see whats gonna come next.

Damn, nice range of vocals on this one. I feel like I've heard this beat somewhere before, but it was rap not RnB. It was still smooth though.

I have to say it's not quite the song I was expecting - it's lack luster and the hook doesn't quite take off in the way that, say, it should. It doesn't bode well for the album - this would be the disappointing dud after "You're The One". Okay at very best.
