Tyrese: I Have A Rap Album Coming Out & It's Inspired By JAY-Z

Ummm, is this real life? On Tuesday (Oct. 17), Tyrese revealed that he's working on a new rap album. But, wait! There's more...

Ty has been an R&B singer/songwriter for over 20 years -- and one of the most-respected and best. So, imagine our surprise when we heard that the recording artist is going to be releasing a new hip hop project. He previously dropped a double-disc project in 2006 called Alter Ego -- one disc featured R&B and the other featured only rap. What's interesting about this new LP is that it's inspired by the one and only JAY-Z.

"Asked anybody I tagged about this new album...... This new album is inspired by Jay-Z My motto is #IDentityTheftDoubleAlbum is Jay’s spirit, PAC’s Soul and Sonically Dre’s Ears......" Ty announced on social media. "I know your first instincts is to say GTFOH put me in the ( Singer and Actor box and throw away the key )...but you will see folks very very soon that this rap album is far from play play."

In a second IG post, Ty teased one of his new rap tracks featuring Future. "BlackTy feat Future this is an early reference #GhostWriter when will I drop - no one knows......" he said. "I will be pressing play at the #RocNation offices soon.... not interested in deal, already signed myself - 'I don’t get dropped I drop the label'..... Jay-Z #VoltronRecordz - this album is inspired by Jay’s spirit, PAC’s Soul and sonically Dre’s ears..... #GTFOH right? Ha!! You will see..."
