After a brief spell out of the spotlight, Keyshia Cole is back with new single ‘Rick James’.
Juicy J joins the R&B belter on the gritty mid-tempo, which serves as the lead release from Cole’s upcoming new album.
So what are you waiting for? Take a listen below…
More of a grower than an instant hit, the cut’s chorus is oddly infectious and cemented itself in our heads on first play. Which, in such a competitive climate, is all but a necessity.

NOPE…this song is a hot certified mess
Like the track but her singing and lyrical
content in it is Horrid!!!!
Don’t really like it. I always expect more from K because she has such a good voice. I think the beat is throwin’ me off.
No maam. This is crap. Who OK’d this?
B**** dun slayed my life.
Bye
I hate it.
Like you hate brushing your teeth. #SmellyMouth
Wanted to hate it but the ‘slap a b****’ part has me going ham in my room right now.
Obviously… her label gave her too much creative control. cause this is a mess.
her music is usually so much better
disappointed fan
The video better snatch and slay because I am catching my ENTIRE life from this.
This is the first single? No Keyshia, it’s a hot a** song but you know this ain’t nobody’s first single.
The other single she’s putting out today better the business.
I’m here for it.
No. This sounds like a ratchet K Michelle song. This will flop
Rather ratchet K Michelle than fraudulent Tamar.
A Beyonce fan calling someone fraudulent…..
I’d rather hear Tamar than K Michelle’s ratchet garbage.
***Flawless > This trash.
Nice try hoodrat
This is about getting over a break up, what is Bow Down about?
Keyshia, baby gurl, this song is not it. As a big a fan who’s bought 3/5 albums, this song just does not do it for me. Hopefully, the other song is better.
Please, not the Beyhive thinking their opinion matters. The only power you have is on the internet b******. You couldn’t stop Keri from getting a 2x platinum single and you won’t stop Keyshia from slaying with this song.
Can the Tamar fans worry about the fact that Tamar’s new album still isn’t Gold after all that hype. Please and thank you.
Not as good as I wanted it to be but i’ll still buy it because homegirl is talented.
It sold more then Keyshia last album b****
She needs a fan to sit in the studio with her and tell her the TRUTH that this ish she puttin out is wack I swear it’s like she wants to fail!!!! she shoulda went with the songs she previewed on her Instagram!!!
Keyshia wish she could sing like Tamar b****
Wishes she could sound like a goat being finger f***** by Edward Scissorhands? Doubt it.
Lol Keyshia Cole is a way better singer then Tamar with much better stage presence. Don’t let hate blind you.
This is horrible
I agree that the Beyhive makes Beyonce look thirsty. they irritate me! I call my self simply a Beyonce fan. them geeks don’t represent me.
Off-topic. Take that s*** somewhere else.
no it’s not off topic…no one cares about this fish. this is a free style post
Excuse me, I may not be entirely here for Keyshia but I can’t Buy Your Own Braxtons fans sit here and talk mess about someone who actually HUSTLED to get to where they are.
If you don’t know I’ll be the one to tell you that your fave can’t do anything unless someone is doing it for where. When she wanted a TV show, Toni had to be in it for the network to agree to film it. When she wanted a music career, she depended on Vince to sign her and take complete care of her career and when she’s in the studio depends on producer to edit her vocals.
That’s why she’s NEVER given a half decent live performance before she cannot do anything by herself and CANNOT sing live.
The nerve of you to talk trash about Keyshia when she actually puts 100% into everything she does and had to overcome so much just to get to where she is right now.
Dont @ me.
I didn’t have time to read your novel, so I’ll just leave this right here.

Wait a moment? Tamar better than Keyshia? Girl stop.
Why are the Beyhive defending Keyshia when they should be worried about XO flopping.
Why are you worried about XO when they still haven’t found a cure for h*****?
Why are you worried about h***** when Lana’s Grammys are nowhere to be seen.
The beat is mostly ok, but the vocal arrangement and lyrics are not so good. The whole “I’m Rick James” thing is super dry.
That’s my favorite part of the song too lol
slap a b**** like rick james lol, the song is coo, more of a rihanna type of song tho
hahahaha yaaaaaaaaaaaazzz I can see riding out to this during spring break. and it seems like it comes from a REAL place (daniel)
love kyeshia but i’m not a fan. And no one is more rachet than tamar ghetto ass.
Tamar is wack,!
Todays music is TERRIBLE!
Everyone from Mariah, Beyonce & Keyshia is releasing TRASH!
Can we even call this s*** music?
it’s ok, I am sure her album will be aiite, like the past have been, it’s just ok tho!
I Was just expecting more… Still got love for Keyshia, But I really was hoping for more.
I dont like this s*** either
Now I put this mess in my Bose speakers for maximum effect and no this is NOT a hit. The lyrics, the arrangement, and the whole Keyshia Cole experience is just a no. Just turrible *Charles Barkley voice*
LMAOOO ” this is a freestyle post “
This is a flop.
I’m not hating on this song at all, but here’s my concern: Did she clear this with the family/estate of Rick James? I would hate for Keyshia to have to deal with backlash from Rick James’ family.
My concern is this: Did she clear this with the family/estate of Rick James? I would hate for Keyshia to have to deal with backlash (and maybe a lawsuit) from Rick James’ family. I hope I didn’t speak that into existence.
Hopefully there will be some backlash for this garbage. Keyshia should be above this kind of music but unlike others who ACT ghetto, this is who Keyshia IS. No ma’am to this record…Many of today’s singers need to get their “grown woman” on. This is tragic….
Keeping it real people scream that KMichelle is a wanna be Keyshia Cole yet every snippet remix and or mixtape song is giving nothing but K Michelle brand of ratchet & blues which i love from K Michelle it seems like K has been out making a name for herself Keyshia seems to be the one slowly but surely mimicking her
Creative concept with the Rick James “slap a bish like Rick James” BUT song wise it’s a step back from the 1st single from Woman to Woman which was Enough of No Love!!
Beat is banging, hook I’d sing along with & the rest I’ve not taken notice to yet. Meaning the lyrics lol.
It’s catchy.. I give her that. Honestly I just hope she returns to ‘The Way it Is’ Keyshia Cole. That cd just felt more real to me. I like W2W and I really enjoyed Enough of No Love, she was on the right page. Keyshia kinda has her own lane.. she needs to own it before K.Michelle comes in to threaten it.
she’s beautiful
and her voice is amazing
