To be an “It Chick,” means to be a woman who caters to her family, business and preservation of life on a level of excellence.

Drop It Then, Sis: SZA Reveals That The ‘Ctrl’ Deluxe Edition Will Have At Least 6 New Songs

Christopher Polk/Getty Images for NARAS SZA Is Coming With A Deluxe Edition Of Ctrl SZA’s album Ctrl is already a favorite among many as far as 2017’s releases go. Now, it looks like the tracks we already got on the album aren’t all the singer has to offer, and we can be expecting a deluxe edition of the album very soon. One fan asked SZA on Saturday if she could drop her unreleased verse from “Love Galore” as a bonus track for the album. Solana replied to the inquiring mind on Twitter saying that the deluxe edition of her album already has half a dozen new tracks, and that there’s still room to add some more. Yah got about 6 bonus tracks so far we got room ta add https://t.co/OchDFZvbtY — SZA (@sza) March 10, 2018 This isn’t the first time the TDE songstress has hinted at the fact that fans can expect a Ctrl deluxe edition, either. All the way back in August, a fan tweeted a video of SZA doing some choreography to a song that wasn’t on the album, and she retweeted it admitting that she regrets not putting the track onto the project. Man this video is literally shot n edited ..regret not putting it on the album . Das wat da delux is foe https://t.co/Avj0eQps4r — SZA (@sza) August 30, 2017 The good news? She ended that statement with, “Das wat da deluxe is foe,” so it looks like fans have a pretty good idea of some of the sounds that will be on Ctrl ‘s deluxe release. SZA’s debut album just went platinum in the beginning of March, so hopefully she’s in the mood to celebrate that victory by dropping more tracks.

Make That Money, Sis: Tiffany Haddish Snags Lead Role In Tyler Perry’s Upcoming Movie, ‘The List’

VALERIE MACON/AFP/Getty Image Tiffany Haddish To Star In New Tyler Perry Film Big moves are happening for our girl Tiffany Haddish . The  Girls’ Trip  comedic relief has officially been tapped to star alongside Tika Sumpter and Omari Hardwick in the upcoming Tyler Perry production titled,  The List . According to reports from  Deadline,  the film is on track to be released in November 2018, and the plot is described as: “When her wild sister (Haddish) gets released from prison and re-enters her life, Danica (Sumpter) is forced to accept that she may be getting “catfished” by an online boyfriend whom she has never met in person.” The List  is only one of Haddish’s many upcoming and in-development projects. The rising comedian is teaming up with Tracy Morgan in the TBS sitcom  The Last OG , and has a new movie with her longtime friend Kevin Hart scheduled to release later this year in September titled  Night School.  There were also rumors last month that Tiffany and Melissa McCarthy were very close to putting together a deal to star in  The Kitchen together–but there has been no further developments on the possible project. Whatever the case: you’re going to be seeing Haddish absolutely everywhere this year, and that probably won’t halt anytime soon. The List  is going to being released by Paramount Players. Along with this film, Haddish and Tyler Perry are also going to team up for the OWN series  If Loving You Is Wrong , a show the comedian previously appeared on back in 2014-2015.  It seems like we hear about another new project from Haddish every single day. Congrats to Tiffany and all the work she’s putting in to live out her dream. Continue reading
