This Songstress Has A Track With A Certain, “Control” Rapper On The Way!
I will never forget back in the year 2000 – or so, give or take a year – I was head over heels in love with, B2K (judge me, NOT)! But then, Lil Fizz introduced his “cousin” to the world. Being the crazed teenager/fan I was known to be, I was under the impression that the group belonged to me, so any female that got close – claws would show. I gave Jhene Aiko a chance (I mean, she was only a relative). I then heard her sing, “Santa Baby” on the group’s Christmas album, and she had me hooked. Now, Jhene Aiko is doing her own thing. She’s since made appearances on songs from artists such as, J. Cole, Drake, Big Sean and Wale. Jhene is working on her own material at this time, and she’s divulged the secret, that among the artists she’s done verses for, so far, only one plans on returning the favor. Hit the jump for the details.
