MONICA speaks on WHITNEY & BEYONCE & more + covers Nov UPSCALE Mag!!!!!!!!

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY


theYBF.com is the first to get the spread.

The fabulous Monica is covering the pages of the November issue of Upscale magazine. And we’ve got the first look at her spread:

On her personal struggles:

My family has been financially comfortable since my career began. But we’ve had other issues. I’ve experienced death, my career

has been up and down at different times.
There are no secrets with me. I’m open. The only things I won’t talk about is something that affects other people. If it’s not just my story, I won’t tell it. [Like your relationship with C-Murder?]
Absolutely. He goes through enough. And it was over ten years ago. Not just him. Even before me finding my real friends, I had other types of friends. I’m loyal. And I don’t like when people are disloyal. I found out that friends I had for a long time who had not so positive things to say about me when I was not around. Anyone not being loyal or honest is the only reason why I cut off friends. I don’t live in the past. But I’ve definitely had moments where I felt I was being used.

More pics and interview highlights on being a celebrity and not working with Dallas Austin when you read the rest…

On not working with Dallas Austin on this album:

We have to be on the same page. Sometimes, he’s doing a completely different sound and it may be a different world than what I’m doing. So I feel him out and see if we’re in the same zone. Sometimes we are. Sometimes we’re not.

On growing up:

I’m just not who I used to be anymore. My focus is my children and my family as a whole.

On staying true to herself:
When I was sixteen, I would go from an awards show straight to a cookout in the hood. People didn’t understand. But the music industry never changed who I was. These are my people. It is what it is. You look at a rapper on his first album, million dollars worth of jewelry. And then you look at Jay-Z who may wear none. You grow up.

On looking forward:
My children don’t know who I dated 12 or 13 years ago. It’s inappropriate and I’ll tell anyone that. I owe my current relationship more than that.

On being a celebrity:
I love Beyonce. But her life is for her. My life is for me. It’s what’s the Most High has chosen for me. I can’t compare our careers.

On her dream duet:
Whitney is still my idol. I still need to do a song with her before it’s all over. I have to!

Work it out then Monica…

>>>>>LOVES IT..Monica is my fav modern day FEMALE SINGER.. Momma was a force to be wreckin with in the 90's @ such an young age. and YET is. I also loves all the respect she gets..You see her on video's or anything in the ATL cause she is asked.


BTW! Monica's reality show airs OCT 24TH on BET right after the BET HIP HOP AWARDS.

Bilal To Release Electro-Jazz Rock Album In 2010

da BLITZ in the INDUSTRY

Bilal hasn't put out an official album since 2001's "1st Born Second," but fans can rest assured that new solo material is on the way. The R&B singer is almost done recording his next album, he tells Billboard.com, and it's slated for release in the first quarter of next year on the indie label Plug Research.

"I'm just excited to put out a new record without having to conform to major label standards," says Bilal. "Before there was always this pressure of, 'What's going to be the first single -- what are people going to get?' I never really saw making music like that."

Bilal -- who stays mostly out of the public eye but made a recent surprise appearance on Maxwell's tour -- released "1st Born Second" on Interscope eight years ago. The album boasted production by Dr. Dre and J. Dilla and cameos by Mos Def and Common, and it sold 319,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

However, Bilal's label dropped him in 2003 and shelved "Love for Sale," the follow-up effort that he had convinced execs to let him self-produce. The project eventually leaked online and earned acclaim, helping him secure live gigs and continue to grow his fanbase. He now describes the turn of events as a Catch-22.

"I was bummed out. I felt like I was under the bootleg plague for a minute," recalls Bilal, who stopped recording for over a year after the "Love for Sale" leak. "But then I started getting a lot of work…I wasn't making money from the album, but I was making money from the shows and people were responding to this new music. Everybody knew it word for word."

The response inspired Bilal to finally hit the studio again in early 2008 and start his next album, which he describes as "a progression of the music that was bootlegged.

"On 'Love for Sale' I was going for a raw, bluesy feeling because I was listening to a lot of Howlin' Wolf records," he says. "This time I've taken that and mixed it with jazz and rock inflections. This record is about me discovering Steely Dan, John Lennon, and Bobby Womack."

Nine of the 12 songs planned for the album are finished, and all are produced by Bilal with some help from Virginia producer Nottz (Kanye West, Snoop Dogg), and Sa-Ra member Shafiq Husayn, who worked on Erykah Badu's "New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War."

Among the standout tracks, Bilal says, are "Who Are You?" -- a seven-minute, Squarepusher-inspired opus on which he sings about horoscopes, religion and Egyptology -- and "Dollar," which he describes as an electronic blues track about the allure of money and drugs.

In addition to the new album, Bilal most recently lent his vocals to Husayn's own genre-bending solo debut on Plug Research, "Shafiq En' A-free-Ka," and jazz albums by Terence Blanchard and Robert Glasper. He also jumped onstage with rapper Common during the rapper's opening set for Maxwell's Sept. 28 show in New York, something that he plans to do again soon. "Initially it was just going be that one day, but the cats convinced me," he says. "I won't be out on the whole tour but I'll be out on some shows."

As for whether he's worried about his new album getting leaked before release, Bilal says he's changed his attitude. "I'm just trying to have that mentality like I don't really own this music," he explains. "It's just something that comes through me, so if things don't go my way, I still see the beauty in it."

>>>>BILAL is an amazing singer, he can sing in 7 different styles & 4 diff languages plus he's an trained OPREA singer....He's one of mt fav modern day male singers.
