Mary J. Blige proves time and time again why she’s been crowned the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.
Blige releases her 9th “studio child” Stronger withEach Tear (as she refers to her albums) today and as always it’s a well put crafted fine work of art. The album is being released by Blige’s own Matriarch Records and distributed by Geffen Records . Her Matriarch arm also includes a lifestyle division which will see the launch of her own designed sunglasses. Blige is really stepping into her own and putting on her business cap.
Stronger withEach Tear has guest appearances galore. Stepping into the booth with Mary are hyped new talent Drake for “The One”, Hip-Hop icon T.I. on “Good Love,” and on “We Got Hood Love” Trey Songz steps up to the microphone with Mary. The list of heavyweight producers runs the gamut, from Tricky Stewart, to NeYo, Stargate, and even Polow Da Don.
