Hip hop honeys – featuring Faith Evans

Have you seen the Coach Carter movie? If you have than you definitely know the song by Twista and Faith Evans called Hope. So here are few things about this lady. Born in Florida, her parents were a kind of mix - Italian-American father and African-American mother. She was raised by her mother and aunt in Newark in New Jersey. She always loved singing and sang in church. She dropped out of college to star a singing career. She started with the Bad Boy records and she stayed with them till 2003. Then she moved to Capitol records in 2005 and is still there. She met her husband to be Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie at Bad Boy's photo shoot and they got married only 10 days later after they met. Nice... Her first album called Faith was released 1995. The hit songs were "Soon as I Get Home", "You used to love me" and "Ain't nobody". This album has gone platinum with 903000 sold copies. It's notable to mention that 2pac said that he slept with her but they just were recording a song together (yeah right :) ). 2pac was gunned down in September 1996 and there were speculations that Biggie was involved. Well, Biggie was gunned down in march 1997. To get over her husband's death Puff Daddy did a song with her - I'll be missing you. Second album "Keep the Faith & Faithfully" is a change - to a nicer optimistic attitude. The famous songs from this album are “Love like this", "All night long" with P. Diddy, and "Never gonna let you go". This album went platinum also (with 925000 copies sold), nice... For her third album Faith lost over fifty pounds, way to go baby... The album was called Faithfully, and in videos for this album you can see Faith in much sexier appearance. Again turned platinum... With 'just' 837000 copies... Her forth album called "The first lady" came after the Hope duo with Twista. Song "Again" was the hit from her album... (oh it's biographical stuff) ...
