Last year, R. Kelly and Jay-Z tried to capitalize off both their popularities with a first-ever collaboration album, Best of Both Worlds.
In the mist of the promotion of the album, R. Kelly was hit with the alleged charges of sex with a minor. All the bad press on Kelly, took a toll on the album sales and eventually led to the failure of the much hyped collabo.
Kelly has just released a greatest-hits LP and has told press that he is working on another solo album. Baby ceo of Cash Money Records has told MTV that he and Kelly have teamed up to do a sequel to Best of Both Worlds.
Me and Kelly are almost finished," Baby said recently of the tentatively titled Best of Both Worlds 2. "It's kind of a combination with both [singing and rapping]. Dude is doing his thing, I'm doing my thing with it. We worked together on every song, so me and his ideas came together so big it's just gonna be one of them kind of albums. [Mannie] Fresh [produced] some songs on there."
Baby also mentioned that he and Kelly have finished the script for their movie mentioned earlier last month, "Eye Contact". Shooting for the film will begin this month. Baby plans to take the Cash Money roster on tour with Kelly.
If you think Baby "#1 Stunner" has enough to do, he and Mannie Fresh are releasing another album, Big Money Heavy Weights on November 11th. The lead single was just released and titled "This is How We Do".
"It's a universal song letting them know how we get down, how we do in our town," Baby explained. "We be up all night partying till the sun comes up. Everybody's in the video. Juvenile came, [Lil' Wayne], Turk."
"It's been in effect," Baby added about the reunion of three-fourths of the Hot Boys (B.G. still says he's not messing with Cash Money). "We've been talking. We've been in the studio, too. To everybody else it's something new, but it's a normal feeling for us."
In addition to scoring R. Kelly and the Cash Money Millionaires for the disc, the Big Tymers also went to Jamaica to record with Beenie Man.
You can currently get another dose of what Kelly and Baby sound like together (the two appeared on the remix of Ginuwine's "Hell Yeah" earlier this year) on a remix of Kelly's "Thoia Thoing" that has hit the mixtapes and some radio stations. On the remix, which also features Busta Rhymes, Kelly actually raps, telling the world his definition of the crazy song title.
