New Music: Dre “Be Somebody” feat. Keyshia Cole
by MWord ·
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.’â€
Keyshia sounds hot on this track, but the question is, would it work without her?

I think that it wouldnt be a good song without Keyshia and that Keyshia and Dre together make the song where people will listen because they are two wonderful celebrites from the hood.

The song is hot!….even if Keyshia wasn’t on the track, the lyrics are powerful….don’t get me wrong, Keyshia does add flava to the track, but if Dre it solo, it would still be bumped in my truck!

Personally I’m inlove with the song, the hook with Keyshia Cole is sick, dynamic, and any other flavorful word you can come up to describe the talented Young Woman, but let’s be fair it took a talented young man with words of inspiration, and a poppin beat, that allowed Keyshia to shine in the first place. Dre lookin forward to your album. One!
