Late 2011 saw R. Kelly announce he would be unveiling over 30 new chapters to his hit “hip-hopera” ‘Trapped In the Closet’.  Now, R&B’s self-proclaimed ‘Pied Piper’ is following up on the promise with reports that he will follow-up 2013’s ‘Chapter 33’ (seen above) with a series of new chapters due 2014.

Via Billboard:

“…he announced that new chapters of his ongoing hip-hopera “Trapped in the Closet” will come out next year, debuting on the cable channel IFC

A statement on IFC’s official site promises “more drama, more crazy situations, more tumultuous relationships, more Sylvester, more Pimp Lucius, more Reverend Mosely, more everything that you love about ‘Trapped in the Closet.'”

Yes…you guessed it…Tamar Braxton has finally released the visual for her latest single ‘All The Way Home’, pulled from her hit birthing album ‘Love & War‘!
