iHipHop AdminYou remember lil Sammie right? That 12-year old kid that dropped that hit single “I Like It” back in 2000? Well he’s back, now 18, with a new album set to drop on Dallas Austin’s Rowdy Records. Expect production from Austin, Jazze Pha, Bryan Michael Cox, Dre & Vidal and Darn Jones, but don’t expect any “kiddie” songs for the teeny boppers.
"Its a mature sound, I’m 18, so you know it’s going to be a lot different from when I was 12 and 13,” Sammie said in a statement. “This is like my baby, real personal to me. It’s about discretion, expansions throughout high school; I even went through the whole break up thing which helped me to become a better song writer. From the top to bottom it’s a solid album. I’m really trying to bring singing back to the industry. I do think that R&B has gotten a little too cute. It’s all about the looks now. You should be able hold a note, that’s the way it used to be. This album I think is going to define that and is going to let people know what I’ve been going through the past 5 years of my life."
The album also features appearances from Sean Paul (of the Youngbloodz) and hits stores on October 10, 2006.
Yea, Sammie was a hit, to be honest I never lost memory of the video’s he dropped and features he was in duing the early half of the decade.
Uhh…he would be 21 if he came out when he was 12 in 2000, it’s now 2009.NEVER MIND!!! It was written in 06 CDFU
