Check out “Be Somebody” from Miami native Dre and his upcoming album The Trunk. The track features an always-on-fire Keyshia Cole.

Dre, one half the production duo Cool and Dre (50 Cent’s “Hate it or Love It,” Ja Rule’s “New York,” etc), apparently had a lot of encouragement to do the solo thing.

“I been working on the project for a little bit,” he said. “A lot of my peers influenced me to do the album. They all pushed me to do this album. They said ‘you’ve been given the talent to sing, you can rap and write and make beats. You need to take advantage of that God given talent. My mom told me to never limit myself. So I was like ‘cool.’”

Keyshia sounds hot on this track, but the question is, would it work without her?
