Well, for starts, you’ve probably already heard songs she’s written for Mary J. Blige, Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole, T. I. and Flo-Rida. While her lyrics have been out on the radio for a while now, this girl is just getting started artistically! Clearly, she’s starting a new chapter, and she’s opening it with her first single, “Drop It Low.” The singer-songwriter signed with Polow Da Don through his Zone 4 imprint. She got on this track with Chris Brown and came out with a powerful video.
