Teedra Moses; whether you know her or not; you will very soon. The underrated singer has signed a deal with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group imprint. Now as far as which label will distribute her album is a mystery. On the singer's twitter page she announced the news. Teedra Moses released her debut album; "Complex Simplicity" in 2004. Over the years she has released several mixtapes and collaborated with the likes of Trina, Mary J. Blige, and Christina Milian. Rick Ross is surely putting together a team over there at Maybach Music with the addition of Wale as well. Now all he needs is a female rapper to add to the roster; perhaps Foxy Brown or Ami Miller. Jay-Z is collaborating with Sade for a remix of her single; "Moon & The Sky" which will appear on an upcoming; "Ultimate Collection" album. There is no release date yet for the album. Sade has; over the years shun collaborations but granted Jay-Z which is understandable. If you recall Drake wan...

It was six years ago when Teedra Moses released her first and only album to date, "Complex Simplicity" on the TVT label. At the time the label TVT was popping with acts like Lil' Jon. It is funny how quickly times change. When I first heard Teedra Moses' debut single, "You'll Never Find(A Better Woman)", I thought she was Ameriie. Teedra, herself later noted that a lot of people compared her to Amerie early on. "Complex Simplicity" didn't actually set the charts on fire but it was critically acclaimed in its own right. It housed two singles, the aforementioned "You'll Never Find" and "Be Your Girl". Don't sleep on the standout tracks, "Caution", "No More Tears", "Backstroke", and "Caught Up". Teedra soon became R&B's hidden secret and would later develop a cult following. Over the years Teedra has released a few mixtapes as we all await a new album from her. -------...

Ray J has a song from his last album, "All I Feel" called "Good Girl Gone Bad". The chorus says 'When a good good girl goes bad, she's gone forever...". True words indeed. These ladies have no problem being bad and you can bet it was a man who drove half of them, if not all to their current 'bad' status! Toni Braxton - The video for Toni's "Your Makin' Me High" raised more than a few eyebrows. What was more hair-raising was the lyrics which were about masturbation. Christina Milian - Not content on her wholesome good girl image, Christina called on singer/songwriter Teedra Moses to pen the racy hit single,"Dip it Low". The video was even more racy with Christina dancing in lingerie and froliquing in paint. Gotta love it! Brandy - Brandy's personal life has overshadowed her music in recent years. With 2004's "Afrodisiac" Brandy was brutally honest. Admitting to adulterous affairs and using the word...

I was skimming YouTube today actually in search of a Trina song. Since I didn't find it I came across some of her videos. Low and behold I came across Trina's biggest hit to date, "Here We Go" feat Kelly Rowland. I figured it would make a perfect candidate for throwback video. Check it out! Originally this song featured Teedra Moses who co-wrote the track but was placed in favor of Kelly Rowland. The Teedra Moses version is still floating around out there somewhere.
