Leave it up to the king of “scandal and sleaze” to come up with an album entitled, “Black Panties.” Hot off the heels of a recent electrifying performance at the BET Awards and a sold out show at LA’s Staples Center, multi-platinum selling artist R. Kelly is set to release the single “My Story” featuring 2 Chainz. The song is the first single from the musician’s highly anticipated twelfth studio album, “Black Panties.”
While this is the first new music from R. Kelly since last year’s “Best R&B Album of the Year” Grammy-nominated album “Write Me Back,” fans have experienced exhilarating performances by the superstar at summer music festivals. His first performance was a surprise appearance at the famed Coachella Festival before he lit up the stages of Bonnaroo. He then delivered a thrilling hometown performance as headliner at the Pitchfork Music Festival on July 21 at Chicago’s Union Park. The album is slated for release later this year.
