Queen Latifah is going back to her roots and leaving the jazz behind for a lil while. Her new album “Persona” will be her first hip hop album since 2003. Queen L’s new single featuring Mary J. Blige called “People” check it out HERE.

In related news, The Queen made a wish and Ford Motor Company delivered. Twenty-year-old NASCAR phenom Colin Braun brought award-winning musician and actress Queen Latifah a 2010 Ford Mustang and schooled her in how to drive the iconic muscle car like a pro. Latifah, already a proud owner of a ‘65 Mustang, wished to drive the car in the extended music video for her new song “Fast Cars.”

Latifah received her pro driving lesson and 2010 Mustang by participating in The ‘10 Unleashed promotion, which asks people to describe their ultimate Mustang dream experience in 250 words or less. The full video diary chronicling her exhilarating lesson from Braun is featured starting today at www.the2010mustang.com.
