According to LetoyaOnline.com, former Destiny’s Child member, LeToya Luckett is working on a follow-up to her debut album, LeToya. The as-yet-titled (Lady Love is being considered) sophomore effort is tentatively set for a February 2008 release.
The first single from the album is titled “Swagger,” featuring UGK, Killa Kyleon and Slim Thug, and is set to release within the next two weeks. “Swagger” is produced by Bridge.
In addition to working with Bridge, the “H-Town Chick” is also slated to have production from the talented Bryan-Michael Cox, Rodney Jerkins, Tricky Stewart & the Dream, Walter Milsap, J.R. Rotem (Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls”), Pharrell Williams, and if you read our exclusive interview with Teedra Moses, LeToya is interested in a track from her and Raphael Saadiq.
You know CL will keep you up to date with her project, and be on the look out for her new single, “Swagger,” coming soon.
GRADUATION CERTIFIED 2X PLATINUM
Kanye w/ Kid Sister on the set of her video for “Pro Nails”
According to the RIAA, Kanye West’s third studio album, Graduation has been certified two times platinum! In addition, he also won two BET Hip Hop Awards for best video and best live performance.
Graduation was released September 11, and debuted at #1, and now sits on the Billboard Hot 100 Albums chart at #6, being on the charts for five weeks, jumping up from the #7 spot last week. He also has 2 singles on in the top 10 of the Hot 100 Singles chart, with “Stronger” holding steady at #2, being on the charts for 12 weeks and his third single, “Good Life,” featuring T-Pain, climbing at #10, having been on the charts for just 5 weeks.
I’m sure Kanye’s got some more tricks up his sleeve as far as new singles from the album. His videos are always a smash.
ON THE SET W/ CHERI DENNIS
Cheri Dennis shooting “Portrait of Love” at Opera
Last Tuesday, Bad Boy recording artist Cheri Dennis shot her second video for her new single, “Portrait of Love” featuring Yung Joc and Gorilla Zoe. The video was shot at a popular Atlanta club called Opera. The shots from the video look pretty interesting.
I happen to know the choreographer for the video, so I’m eager to see what they came up with for the song. Even though I like the track, I am a little worried about how it will translate to fans and on the radio. It sounds like a great album selection, but I’m not sure if it’s single material. Check out more shots from the video. She looks super cute.
Be on the look out for more information on Cheri Dennis. I’m really trying to root for her this time around.
HUH?? What tha hell happened to Letoyas first album….I swear she only did Torn??
Anyway, congrats Kanye. Looking forward to new album from LaToya.

Please God let Cherri Dennis do well cuz the girl can sing I just hope Diddy does right by her n give her the promotion n the air play that she needs to be successful
get it ye!
Kanye cd is the sheeed. My fav song is “I Wonder”–”all that independent shiiiiiit, Trade it all for a husband and some kiddddds”. So True
I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR HER NEW MUSIC I KNOW IT’S GONNA BE OFF THE CHAIN ALOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT SAY HE FIRST CD WASN’T HOT BUT DESTINY CHILD DIDN’T BLOW UP UNTIL THERE SECOND ALBUM AND THE FIRST ALBUM ONLY WENT GOLD HER’S WENT PLATINUM SO SHE’S DOING GREAT LOVE HER.GO TOYA
I can’t wait to see what LT got coming out….her first album was pretty good….she’s actually the only female singer I’ve heard have their song screwed and chopped and sound mad good…
Not surprised Ye’s doing his thing…
Salli Richardson lost weight…
IM LOOKING FORWARD TO LATOYAS NEW ALBUM. IM NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT THAT SINGLE W/ THOSE RAPPERS ALL OVER IT THOUGH..
THE CHERI SONG IS…:SHRUGS:: I DONT SEE HER DOING MUCH ON THE MUSIC SCENE
im actually looking forward to Letoya’s follow up album, i thought her debut was very solid—- anticipating the “swagger” joint
dayum 2x platinum, kudos
i used to love this cherri dennis song, but its so old now (i had this song months and months ago), i done played it out now
LeToya’s a pretty girl and probably talented too, but she’s got that boring factor just like Kelly.
I cant wait for Letoya to come out again, #4 needs to shut they ass up
Lookin forward to Toya’s album. I luv her. She very talented and very down to earth with great sense of humor. The girl even can flow!!!!
Congrats to Kanye I he could it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kanye is 2x platinum already?! Congratulations to him.
I am too excited about Letoya’s sophomore project..and Swagger is gonna be HOT, just watch! Do your thing Toya…to hell with these hating ass people with their negativity! People doubted her before and she had a # 1 single (Torn), her debut album went platinum, and she was awarded by ASCAP. So hate on haters!
Oh, how could I forget…MANY CONGRATS TO THE ULTRA-TALENTED KANYE WEST ON HIS 2X PLATINUM-SELLING ALBUM, GRADUATION!!!! I LOVE that album.
Hands down, the most talented rapper in the game…crybaby or not!
I didn’t buy the first one but I am glad that one of them did survive that whole incident. Too bad they (Latoya and Beyonce) had to lose a lifelong friendship over it but honestly seeing how Kellie and Michelle took second fiddle to Beyonce and her dad’s management of their careers maybe Ms. Luckett was the luckiest of them all. It appears that if your last name is not Knowles your career will remain B rated under Knowles management. I am hoping Latoya pulls a Rihanna and kills it the second time around.
Love Toya. The first album was pretty good and can’t wait until the second is released.
Well I am so glad that Cheri is coming out with something new I was missing her from the scene! Kanye congrats you arrogant mf. Letoya last chance to prove yourself. Bring IT!!!
DIDDY, release then damn album already !!!!!!!!!!!
*the*
PLEEEZZZZEE!!!
Kanye’s album was good and all.
But have you actually been up in the store and seen how many Kanye “Graduation” albums on the shelf??? They have so many left over copies that them thangs are overflowing.
The only reason its two times platinum is because they shipped too many.
I really dont like this chicks vibe. her face looks puged out… and that weave is grease…get your shit right
She better come back strong, because its hard to sell cds the way Beyonce done shut down the game.

#27 wah Up need to shut the hell up! That is my opinion! To me Letoya is wack. Like someone else stated, “She has that boring factor.” I heard her sing live and it was by far just AVERAGE! Don’t be mad at me because I’m only stating my opinion on how I feel about Letoya as an artist. I honestly do not see a follow-up success. Torn was a good song but the follow-up single was WACK! The way this industry is now days is crazy because u only get one chance or it is CURTAINS!
^^#39 What game did Beyonce shut down when she couldn’t even outsell DIL with that boreday crap! Stop giving Beyonce credit. When she has more than one #1 single, and can deliver solid music then praise her but because she’s in your face all the time yodeling, and gyrating doesn’t mean she shut anything down. Don’t let her overexposure confuse you!!!!
As for LeToya, her cd quality and music was much better than boreday and ms. Kelly. LeToya is doing her thing and not sweating Beyonce. Beyonce is sweating Beyonce because Beyonce knows her music is whack she keeps going and going and going because she’s afraid to fall off. Only you dumb stans keep puttin her name out there like she’s #1 on the charts.
Do it big LeToya. Forget the “friendship”. The knowles did nothing but use Kelly, Michelle to create a platform for Beyonce and LeToya is independent woman with no strings attached. Phuck the Knowles and their overrated clown face daughter!
In the meantime, get your swagger up before it’s jacked by Beyonce!
@ 20 that is one of my faves too and that is so true.
actaully toya had two singles,”torn” and “she dont”,she dont was my joint,i liked some of her cd,but i hope the better production team gives her a slaming album this time…..letoya is just a beautiful girl inside and out.
kanye got his money right,and now you cant tell him nothing………i hope other rappers are taking some notes….from him and wayne
cheri is a good singer so i hope she can get more shine
@ # 32 you mean a third time around, this is Rihanna’s third album NOT second and honestly with all the hype she hasn’t killed shit. Letoya did better on her first album than Rihanna the only difference is Rihanna’s a Media Whore and with all the pics around the net people would think she’s doing alot better. But homegirls album’s DON’T SELL!

5,4,3,2,1 this shit about to turn into a Bey vs. Letoya bullshit again. Beyonce is in Ethiopia and leave her there. So I guess everytime a ex DC or current DC member drops a album it’s gonna be a damn comparison, that shit gets annoying. Praise Letoya without dissing Beyonce and Praise Beyonce without Dissing Letoya. Why can’t people like both ladies? This shit happened 10 years ago when they were teenagers, they got over it and made up why the FUCK can’t everyone else. UGH!
^^^LOL, I agree with ya PMS
LeToya’s my girl and she’s doin her, not someone else. Her debut was really good. Plus it hit #1 and went Platinum. There was substance in it. With her being out of DC for so long obviously meant that she wasn’t under the Knowles family spell like poor Kelly, whose solo career and album sales have obviously suffered cause of that controlling bunch. They were always there to prove a point that Beyonce was the only important one in that group. LMAO, “Boreday” u said it sister.
Glad Toya got it together and is still in the business. I can’t wait for her new album. Plus she’s hotter than Bee
Bee might be the big name, but there’s still a market out there for the other girls.
Letoya looks weird to me sometimes, but i cant wait for her new cd.
Congrats YE!!!!!! You getting your props boo.
Kanye West : Congrats, for reaching 2x platinum status, and putting 50cent to shame
Letoya: Yawn. please her album was wack. y’all need to keep beyonce out your mouths.ms beyonce is too busy selling out conert venues internationally,and gettin the royal treat form the Ethiopian Government.
I can’t wait for the new album! Letoya is gonna bring it. She looks absolutely FAB in that pic btw. Go Letoya!!!
Letoya isn’t going to make it any further than CL making a post about her album dropping. 95% of people didn’t even noticed she made a FIRST album. You know what I think, her public relations people all have their eyes and mind on Beyonce. Sad, but true. I mean, whatever happened to Michelle?
#41 Thank U, people can’t stand to admit that Bey had a very garbage ass cd and letoya’s had way more quality and better songs period and stan fans wouldn’t know that, com on get me bodied what the fuck is that, me and my girls don’t say lets get’em bodied at the club maybe let’s get hot and ready but anyway lol my point is doing something different and saying something stupid are two completely different things. get it together b because even the people who aren’t ur fans expect better material than boreday!!!!!! lol
Cant wait to hear Letoya’s new material. I loved her first album and i kinda wish the song called “obvious” would have been a single cuz that song was the Shiznit.
Horray Letoya is coming out with another cd! I like her….
Still very much loving Kanye’s cd. That gets played on the way to and from work…
Get ‘em Toyta….Okay Cheri see you looking hot!!!!
gosh, letoya is ummm, ugly. most of DC is ugly to me: kelly’s face is too long and her mouth never closes; beyonce has a lazy eye; michelle is just ugly. the other girl that got kicked out w/ letoya was the best looking one but she always had on that clown makeup. and they all wear that hideous weave and clown makeup to try to cover up some of the ugly.
2 times Platinum WORLDWIDE NOT IN THE US, IN THE US HE IS STILL PLATINUM> IT IS EASIER TO GO DOUBLE PLAT WORLDWIDE. LET ME KNOW WHEN HE GETS DOUBLE PLATINUM IN THE US.
Good, Now you can take your girl to the wig shop and buy her a new do and some better looking gear
congrats kanye im so happy, waiting for toya album, and ms.dennis needs hop off bad boy
Hope she gets that Teedra/Raphael track on her album! Those two crazy and their kinda track would sounds really unique on a LeToya record.
