TYRESE WANTS TO BE WEST COAST DIDDY

R&B singer and actor Tyrese is scheduled to release a double album, Alter Ego, this summer on J Records. The album will be half R&B and half rap. In addition to the new album, Tyrese has also completed a new film project, Waist Deep, which hits theaters next month. The movie also stars Larenz Tate, The Game, and Meagon Good.

While Tyrese is pleased with his music and his acting career, the Watts-native is most excited about his new production team, The Frontline Boys. Tyrese is hoping to recapture the ’90s magic of P. Diddy’s Hitman production crew that provided the musical backdrop for albums by the Notorious BIG, Mase, P. Diddy, and 112. He explained,

“I got a company called Headquarter Entertainment. I got eight producers in house. The hottest producers ever called the Frontline Boys. We got six first singles coming out sometime this year so far. My staff is incredible. I love ’em. I’m twenty seven years-old. I’m the CEO of a major operation and I’m just basically trying to P. Diddy the whole situation for the west coast, baby, you know what I’m sayin’? I’m just trying to P. Diddy the whole….take that, take that, take that!”
