1. Eddie Murphy
Did you know Eddie has dropped three albums since the 80’s? We all know “Party All the Time” but how many remember “Put Your Mouth on Me” or his reggae-style “Red Light” with Snoop Lion? Right.
2. Cree Summer
True to her bohemian “Different World” character, Summer recorded a folk-rock album in 1999 with help from none other than Lenny Kravitz. And if you liked Dionne Farris, you’ll love it.
3. Sanaa Lathan
OK, we needed Google for this. Google and a drink. Last year, Lathan recorded a single track called “Emotional” with Dej Loaf. The chorus is literally “I don’t really deal with emotional niggas.”
4. Tisha Campbell-Martin
All you have to do is watch a few episodes of “Martin” or see “School Daze” to know Tisha can SANG, but did you know she dropped a single THIS YEAR? It’s turn-up jam called “Lazy Bitch (This Ain’t Gina)” that sounds like Missy could have recorded it.
5. Tatyana Ali
You know how much we love that girl, but even we forgot that she dropped an album in 1998 called “Kiss the Sky” which was sort of Janet-like.
6. Keke Palmer
We don’t care how grown she gets, she’ll always be Akeelah to us. But that didn’t stop Ms. Palmer from putting her big girl pants on and dropping an album and several mixtapes over the years. Most recently, she dropped a grown-ass video for “I Don’t Belong to You.”
7. Jennifer Lopez
It didn’t take long, but after killing it at the box office, the former Fly Girl started dropping albums and quickly became known as Jenny from the Block. To date, J.Lo has 8 albums and shows no signs of slowing up.
8. Jamie Foxx
The man can do anything. Comedy, drama, sing. We knew the dude was talented but we all paused when he hit us with “Blame It’ which had us dancin’ and sippin’ at the same time.
