R. Kelly is back and is scheduled to release his tenth album named simply “UNTITLED” on October 13th. I guess he really couldn’t think of a name for this album. Sheesh. This album will coincide with his new tour called “Ladies Make Some Noise” which will kick off in Mashantucket, CT on Otober 8th.

Trey Songz has some words from R.Kelly. The R&B singer said via his blog seefurtherthaniam.blogspot.com that R. Kelly should stop using “Autotune”. Songz says:

“A wildly exaggerated and inaccurate report has been circulating on the Internet that Olympia Fields police showed up at R. Kelly’s house with a search warrant just before the singer left for his three-week concert tour in Africa last month and then searched the place looking for a missing 17-year-old girl. (more…)
