Dirty South is the debut solo studio album by American rapper Rasheeda. It was released on October 10, 2000 via D-Lo Entertainment and Motown Record Company. Production was handled by Re Re, Rob McDowell, Akon, DJ Jelly, Freddie B, Jason "Jay E" Epperson, Jazze Pha, Kool-Ace, Sanchez Holmes and Stokley Watson. It features guest appearances from Que Bo Gold, Akon, Bone Crusher, Danah Lewis, Jazze Pha, Nandi, Nelly, Pastor Troy, Slim, Thugz Nation, Lil' Jon & the East Side Boyz.
The first single off of the album, "Do It", which was released priory, made it to number 83 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, number 94 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, number 7 on the Hot Rap Songs and number 22 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales charts in the United States.
The album itself was not well received as it reached only number 77 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the US, thus Rasheeda was released from her contract with Motown. An accompanying music video for "Do It" was released in February 2001. Two subsequent singles—"Get It On", released in April, and "Off da Chain", released in July—both failed to chart.
