From MTV.com:
R. Kelly did what he’s never done before in 2009: dropped a mixtape. Along with DJs Skee and Drama, Kells dropped gems to the street like “Club 2 a Bedroom,” “Bangin the Headboard” and “Disrespect My Shorty.”
“I been in the stands watching the music scene for a minute, just chillin’,” Kelly explained about the title of his mixtape. “I said, ‘If I’m gonna do a mixtape, I feel like I’m starting over in a way.’ I said, ‘I’m gonna act like this is my first time as an artist. I’mma do a demo and hope the world sign me.’ “
Kell’s redid several current hits including Lil Wayne and Drake’s “Every Girl:
“When I heard that track, I was like, ‘Ah, man, this is what I’m up against when I come back out? I gotta conquer this first,” Kelly told MTV. I gotta conquer this before I put out my album.’ This is like my homework before I can go out and play. So when I heard ‘Every Girl,’ I’mma keep it real just like them: When I heard the verses and the hooks, I was like, ‘This is so crazy.’ I wanted to put my two cents in.”
Kelly’s Untitled LP is due later this year.
The Demo mixtape was released in June and you can download the songs HERE.
