And people will best know the star for her debut single Gucci Gucci, which skyrocketed to success.
She was part of rap group White Girl Mob, which included her friends V-Nasty and Lil Debbie.
She released the music video for the song in 2011, and it immediately generated nearly three million views on YouTube in the first three weeks.
Plus, the song was such a hit that it landed an MTV VMA nomination for Best New Artist.
Now, the star, who is 35-years-old, has shown off her demure new look on social media.
Natassia boasts 394,000 followers on the platform, and has posted a string of photos with her dark locks down, rocking bangs.
In one video, she can be seen rocking a furry black coat, glasses and showing off her tattoos, while revealing her all black outfit.
Then, in another revealing snap, the rapper dons an orange boiler suit and cheekily flicks her middle fingers up at the camera, displaying a white bra underneath.
Natassia isn't afraid of a bold look, but her new nerdy look is different to the one she rocked back in her Gucci Gucci days.

The star once had a cropped blonde look, and was often spotted wearing slogan t-shirts.
Natassia still performs, and in her latest photo she says: 'Yoooo internet s*** don't hit the same! Think I'm on my website s***! SO MAKE SURE U CHECK MY KREAYSHAWN.COM AND SMILE.RIP KEEP IT CLOCKIN. ALSO I HAVE TWO PERFORMANCES coming up in the BAY! i͙m͙ s͙o͙ n͙e͙r͙v͙o͙u͙s͙ REAL ONES STAY UP.'
As well as their hit song Gucci Gucci, Kreayshawn and the group also produced songs like Pipe Down and Pizza Song, as well as some podcasts and clothing companies.
In 2013, the star gave birth to a son named Desmond, but she tends to keep her private life away from the spotlight.
She did talk about Desmond in 2016, saying: 'He's so funny and easy. He has his moments, but it's cool – me and his dad are friends. We raised him together and we split the week in half.
'He's hella musical, he makes up little songs. He's got like three songs that he's about to drop.'
Natassia is also a businesswoman now, as well as a rapper and mum to Desmond.
In 2016 it was revealed that she had a jewellery line and a radio show, started a female-only DJ Collective and even started tattooing.

I am 11 days post surgery. I'm good. Missing being an active Mum / human the most. "But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.' She admitted the process hasn't been pain-free, adding, 'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful but I can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean. In a surprising move, the Price Tag hitmaker revealed she's stopped taking all painkillers. Jessie - who became a mum last year to son Sky with basketball player Chanan Colman - continued: 'I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it. I have now done a [poo emoji]." "Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys?' 'I carry mine on the floor when I'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week. Despite the obvious challenges of recovery, Jessie said she's trying to stay in a grateful mindset, saying: 'I am feeling positive and grateful.' She also had a message for anyone who might bump into her out and about. Jessie said: 'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctor's appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I seem a little out of it. I am. It's not personal. Jessie J reveals she's taking break from music to 'beat breast cancer' after shock diagnosis 'I don't have what I usually have to give energy wise, understandably. I will get there. It's a slow road. For now I am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive. Lots of love.' Last week, Jessie revealed she doesn't yet know if she's cancer free after her mastectomy. The musician had the operation earlier this week in a bid to beat her breast cancer, and some fans misinterpreted a post that stated: "Cancer has all gone." Jessie said her words had been "misunderstood" and that her statement was a "positive affirmation". She wrote: "I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'. 8 She admitted the process hasn't been pain-free Credit: Instagram 8 Jessie also had a message for anyone who might bump into her out and about Credit: Instagram "This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. "A weird situation," she continued. "My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately." Jessie is now taking a break from social media as she continues her recovery. "Tapping off socials for a week," she said. "Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread. "My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee." After her operation, Jessie admitted she was struggling not being able to pick up her two-year-old son, Sky. She then outlined the 'pros' of the procedure, writing: "Cancer is all gone. "My nipple is where it used to be, I can watch Love Island with no guilt. "I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever. "My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10. "Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other." The list was then followed by a "cons" equivalent. "Not being the mum I'm used to being and picking Sky up," she typed. "The fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone - the mental with this is... 8 "The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a d******d when I'm trying to sleep." Jessie explained how the only painkillers she was allowed to take were paracetamol and ibuprofen due to having low blood pressure. She did try and clear up her post at the time, warning she hadn't meant for the statement to be read as "fact" and that she is still awaiting her results. The BRIT winner added: "I'm getting a lot of messages. Saying so happy all the cancer has gone. To be clear I added the [fingers crossed] emoji as it's a hope not a fact. "I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive. But I will get my results soon. "And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don't know. But I will stay positive and talk what l want into the universe." Earlier this month, Jessie revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Incredibly, she went ahead and performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball in London on June 15. Jessie held back tears as she told the crowd at Wembley Stadium that she was taking a break to "beat breast cancer". 8 The BRIT winner still doesn't know if she's cancer free following her mastectomy Credit: Instagram 8 Incredibly, she performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball after her diagnosis Credit: Getty
