Then & Now: Brooke Valentine!!!

It’s been a while since we’ve seen or heard from BROOKE VALENTINE.

The songstress made us all get crunk with her hit single ‘Girlfight’ ft. LIL JON and BIG BOI back in 2005.

She dropped her debut album Chain Letter that same year, and had international success with it’s debut at #16 on the Billboard 200, but where has she been?

In 2006, her second album Physical Education was put on hold due to record label issues, but the singer later decided to use some of the unreleased material for her 2009 mixtape Physical Education Mixtape.

In 2011, VALENTINE, who recently changed her stage name to B. VALENTINE, stated via Twitter that she was in the studio and ready for her return.

Earlier this year, she released the video for her single ‘Insanity’ from her sophomore effort Forever due out July 17.

Now, the 27-year-old beauty has had the net buzzing after the release of new single ‘Rub It In’ featuring sex symbol TYRESE.

Look out for VALENTINE’s second album Forever, in stores July 17.

Tell us, will you be buying the album?
