Get Free with Timbaland and Missy Elliott

Former 106 & Park host and 100.3 The Beat radio DJ Free is prepping her long overdue album for a late spring release. Not new to the music arena by any means, Free got her MC start in the early 1990s working with Lenny Kravitz, Pras, and Wyclef Jean's Refugee Camp and was signed to Motown and Elektra at different points. Now she is ready for her debut album reportedly working with a huge roster of A list producers that include Timbaland, Missy Elliott, Rockwilder, Pharrell Williams, Scott Storch, Just Blaze, Kanye West, Clark Kent, Bryan Michael Cox, and Soul Diggaz.

In addition Free has been selected to co-host a new original series called Bobby Jones Next Generation on the Gospel Music Channel. The series is an hour-long emerging artist showcase of musical performances and interviews with up-and-coming “undiscovered” performers. She will share hosting duties with a long time gospel legend Dr. Bobby Jones.

There is no official release date for the album or first single and honestly I have a feeling this project will be pushed back since we've haven't heard anything yet but keep checking back with us for more information.

    She can rap/sing so her production set is sick...not to mention she been workin wit Timbo since the days she was on Elektra so we'll see how this turns out.

  3. She's been trying to get that same album out for about 4 years now. She really did step into the studio with all of those people but I hope she atleast went back in to update the album.

  5. I think if she kept the old stuff and did some new tracks it would be a nice mix...you get that old feel of Tim and Missy.
