2 Chainz jumps on the remix to Teairra Mari’s first single “U Did Dat,” written and produced by Rico and D-Town. The singer is readying her sophomore album for release on Rico Love’s Division1 label.

Teairra Mari takes us into the studio as she begins recording her sophomore album with Rico Love. The R&B singer, who is signed to Love’s Division1 label, laid down vocals for the first single “U Did Dat” with Love and producer D-Town.

“It’s absolutely amazing the chemistry that Rico and I share. I couldn’t ask for another partner in crime,” explained the “Love & Hip-Hop” star.

“There are a lot of talented songwriters out there, but for me, my chemistry is with Rico and I haven’t had a chemistry like this with anybody else. Everybody has their match and I think Rico is definitely my musical match.”

Teairra explores her womanhood on the new album. “The direction has gotta be sexy,” she said. “I’m a woman comfortable in my shoes and I like to be in love, and when I’m in love, I like to have sex, lots and lots of it.”

After releasing several mixtapes and viral videos, Teairra Mari makes her official return with “U Did Dat,” the lead single from her as-yet-untitled sophomore album. The R&B siren exited Warner Bros. Records earlier this year and signed to Rico Love’s Division1 label.

“Ever since I went there with you/ Never been so turned out and turned on/ I’m so glad he’s gone ’cause you’re the one I want,” a smitten Teairra coos over the seductive midtempo, written and produced by Rico and D-Town.

“I believe in her. She’s a superstar,” Rico told Rap-Up.com. “If somebody is a star and they have that ‘it’ thing that cannot be taught, all you have to do is put a record with it. I believe that she’s gonna have a successful career. I believe that she has that potential.”

Rico Love, who recently signed Teairra to his Division1 label, appears alongside her to spit a verse. Turn the lights on.

Following her DUI arrest last week, Teairra Mari is getting her life back in order. The 23-year-old singer attended Sunday services at Oasis Church in Los Angeles, her first public outing since being charged with drunk driving in Beverly Hills. She released a statement over the weekend owning up to her mistake and apologizing to those she disappointed.

Rico Love, who signed Teairra to his Division1 label, spoke exclusively with Rap-Up.com about the incident. “I don’t condone drinking and driving. I don’t support it,” said the hitmaker. “I think it was a foolish decision on her part, but at the end of the day we all make mistakes. I had that big brother talk with her and I’m gonna continue to have that with her. But I love her and I still believe in her talent, so we just gonna keep it movin’ and give her our full support. But I do not condone that type of activity at all whatsoever.”

So far Rico and Teairra have recorded five songs together for her Division1 debut and he plans to drop her first single at the top of 2012. “She’s a superstar. If somebody is a star and they have that ‘it’ thing that cannot be taught, all you have to do is put a record with it,” he explained.

Teairra Mari is taking responsibility for her actions. The 23-year-old singer was arrested on Friday for driving under the influence after crashing her vehicle in Beverly Hills. In a statement released today, an embarrassed Mari admits to driving drunk and apologizes to those who were disappointed in her.

She was reportedly charged with DUI and assault of a police officer, the latter of which she denies. “I take full responsibility for my actions, but I absolutely did NOT ‘attack’ a Beverly Hills police officer and I’m very confused by those allegations,” she states.

The Division1 signee hopes the incident will serve as an example to those who drink and get behind the wheel. “I hope that this situation can save someone from making the dumb decision to drink and drive!” she adds.

Read her full statement below.

Let me start by saying that this is a very embarrassing moment for me, I know that I’ve disappointed so many people including myself. I take full responsibility for my actions, but I absolutely did NOT “attack” a Beverly Hills police officer and I’m very confused by those allegations. I did have drinks and I misjudged the situation by driving myself home. I want to apologize to those that I endangered that night and also to the people that I’ve let down. I hope that this situation can save someone from making the dumb decision to drink and drive!

Teairra Mari was arrested for drunk driving after crashing her vehicle in Beverly Hills.

According to TMZ, the 23-year-old singer, born Teairra Marquisha Thomas, was driving her silver Infiniti on Santa Monica Boulevard in the early hours of Friday morning when she rear ended the car in front of her.

Officers report that Mari showed signs of intoxication and was arrested around 3:30 a.m. During the arrest, she reportedly “became combative, resulting in a minor cut to the hand of one of the arresting officers.” She was charged with DUI and assault of a police officer.

Mari is currently in custody and is being held on $50,000 bail, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

Earlier this week, the Detroit native officially announced her signing to Rico Love’s Division1 label after splitting from Warner Bros. Records.

UPDATE: Teairra has been released from police custody as of 1:10 p.m. PST.

Teairra Mari fans may finally get that sophomore album they’ve been waiting for. The R&B chanteuse has departed Warner Bros. Records and signed a new deal with Rico Love’s Division1 label. She made the official announcement on set of the video for “That’s All Me,” helmed by Rico.

“Teairra Mari is now part of the Division1 family. She is officially signed to Division1. We got the lights on all over the world,” said the music maestro, who’s written hits for Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Diddy.

Teairra released the EP Sincerely Yours last year on Warner Bros. and was previously signed to Roc-A-Fella Records.

Teairra Mari spread her wings on set of the video for “That’s All Me.” The angelic singer showed a darker side while flaunting her hot bod in a jeweled swimsuit and black angel wings. And what’s an angel without her Charlie? Hitmaker Rico Love, who produced and raps on the Puff Daddy-sampled song, joined Teairra as well as Division1/BMajor DJ T. Neal in the clip.

Teairra Mari takes it back to the ’90s by singing over a sample of Puff Daddy & the Family’s classic “It’s All About the Benjamins” on the Rico Love-penned “That’s All Me.”

“Been searching and I finally found someone who can cure all my lonely/ Won’t let you go, no way boy, no how/ I’ma need you as my one and only,” sings Teairra before Mr. Turn the Lights On spits a verse.

The song will appear on Division1/BMajor DJ T. Neal’s forthcoming album Not Your Average DJ.
