Shareese Renée Ballard (born October 14, 1977), known professionally as Res (/riːs/ REESS), is an American singer, songwriter and musician from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Res released her debut album, How I Do, in 2001 along with its first single "Golden Boys." Despite heavy rotation on VH1, the song did not catch on in radio play. "Ice King" (Remixed by Nas) emerged as the second single later that year but also failed to break through with radio audiences and no video was filmed.
