This album is really going to be a thing.
Faith Evans revealed two years back that she’d be releasing a duet album with her late husband, Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. titled The King And I. After years passed and no significant movement on the project happened, I was beginning to think it was one of those never going to see the light of day projects… Till a few days ago when two records “NYC” and ” We Party” off the proposed album surfaced online.
The internet plumbers must have forced her hand as Faith has now gone ahead to make the album available for pre-order on ITunes whereby also revealing the LP’s tracklisting and release date.
If the iTunes Pre-order link is anything to go by, then the long-awaited album is laced with 25 tracks and includes guest appearances from Jadakiss, Snoop Dogg, Lil Kim, Busta Rhymes, 112, Sheek Louch, Styles P, Mama Wallace (Biggie’s mother) and more.
“The King And I” is scheduled for a May 19th release.
