Faith Evans has been working on her Notorious B.I.G. duets album, The King & I, over the last few years. However, after sharing two new songs — “When We Party” and “NYC” — Evans is finally revealing more details on the new project.
The 25-track album will arrive on May 19, which is two days before B.I.G.’s birthday. It is packed with guest features including Lil’ Cease, Lil’ Kim, Busta Rhymes, 112, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and Styles P, to name a few. It will also feature narration from B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace.
“I remember telling Ms. Wallace years ago that one day it would be really dope if I could do something similar to Natalie & Nat King Cole’s Unforgettable,” Evans said. “Knowing the love that B.I.G. had for [his kids] Tyanna & Ceejay, I feel it’s my duty to uphold & extend his legacy, especially his musical contributions. This project is my creative reflection of the love we had & the bond we will always have. I’m elated to share this musical journey with our fans!”
