Keyshia Cole will release her new album, A Different Me just in time for Christmas on December 16th. The album is led by the single, “Playa Cardz Right,” featuring the late Tupac Shakur.
But it seems as though our friends at Rap-Up.com have confirmed that Kanye West and Nas will make guest appearances, and the album will also feature a duet with Atlanta native, and close friend, Monica.
All of the songs on the Oakland native’s latest effort were written or co-written by her with production from producers such as Ron Fair, Polow Da Don, Trackmasters, The Runners, Kwame, and Neffu.
In the mean time, while you wait for Keyshia’s new album, you can tune into the new season of her reality show, The Way It Is on BET every Tuesday night.
