Wadena "Denagirl" Kicks Off New Music Friday With "Drop Dem Booties (Club Remix)" & "Girl Play (Remix)" - Two Summer Anthems Arrive July 3

 

Long Island, NY – Independent recording artist Wadena "Denagirl" is heating up the summer with a wave of new music, led by her latest singles, "Smoke-N-Chill" and "Bum Busta." Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer and hip-hop legend Zaytoven, "Bum Busta" marks a major milestone in Wadena's growing career. Continuing the momentum, Wadena officially releases two highly anticipated summer records, "Drop Dem Booties (Club Remix)" and "Girl Play (Remix)," on New Music Friday, July 3, 2026, just in time for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Designed to become the soundtrack of the summer, "Drop Dem Booties (Club Remix)" delivers an infectious "jump on it," bounce-and-drop-low energy perfect for clubs, pool parties, beach parties, cookouts, festivals, and holiday celebrations. "Girl Play (Remix)" brings a completely different vibe, blending smooth melodies with feel-good rhythms that invite listeners to relax, dance, and enjoy the moment.

Together with "Smoke-N-Chill" and "Bum Busta," Wadena is delivering four standout records that showcase her versatility across Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, Trap, Melodic Rap, and Club Music.

Wadena's remarkable comeback makes the new releases even more meaningful. After suffering a traumatic brain injury, she faced the difficult challenge of relearning how to talk, walk, sing, and perform. Refusing to let those obstacles define her future, Wadena returned to the recording studio with renewed determination.

Her first recording sessions after recovering took place in Atlanta, Georgia, with Grammy Award-winning producer and hip-hop legend Zaytoven and his team. Unknown to Zaytoven, it was Wadena's first time back in a professional recording studio after recovering portions of her long-term and short-term memory.

For Wadena, the sessions became proof that her creativity had returned. After hearing Zaytoven's production, she re-worked "Smoke-N-Chill" before recording both the lead and background vocals. The following day, she recorded "Bum Busta."

"I walked into the studio not knowing what to expect after everything I'd been through," says Wadena. "To re-work 'Smoke-N-Chill,' record my lead and background vocals, and then come back the next day to record 'Bum Busta' reminded me that I still had it. That moment meant everything to me."

According to Wadena, before and after traveling from New York to Atlanta to write and  record  with Zaytoven, she experienced events that she says invaded her privacy and interfered with her music career. Wadena alleges that members of Suffolk County, New York law enforcement and narcotics units subjected her, her disabled and elderly mother, her sister, and their residence to warrantless searches while scrutinizing the lyrics to "Smoke-N-Chill."

Wadena says she was questioned about whether she was traveling between Long Island, New York, and Atlanta, Georgia, to traffic drugs because of the song's lyrics. She strongly disputes those suspicions.

"My music is protected artistic expression," Wadena says. " I am serting the record straight.

PoloSongs tell stories, create moods, and allow artists to express themselves creatively. 'Smoke-N-Chill' was never intended to promote illegal drug use. I don't use drugs, and neither does Zaytoven. Marijuana is legal in New York. Artists should be free to create without being judged by song titles or lyrics."

Despite those experiences, Wadena refused to let anything stop her return to music.

Now, with "Drop Dem Booties (Club Remix)," "Girl Play (Remix)," "Smoke-N-Chill," and "Bum Busta" building momentum, Wadena is preparing for the release of her highly anticipated EP, "Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside," arriving during her birthday weekend on August 31, 2026.

Fans are encouraged to stream the new singles, request them on radio, add them to playlists, share them across social media, and join the growing Play Wadena's Music movement by supporting independent music this Fourth of July weekend.

"Drop Dem Booties (Club Remix)" and "Girl Play (Remix)" are available on all major digital streaming platforms beginning Friday, July 3, 2026.
