The Brat drops new tracks, talks about collaborating with Mariah Carey – variety

The rapper, actress and radio personality Da Brat has more than just the cover Diversity‘It’s a matter of pride to celebrate this week: the first female hip-hop artist on Platinum has just released new music. The timely “You Will Quarantine” doesn’t come with any setup or deception, a move that makes you think of Beyoncé é “I wish,” Brat joked.

But Divas has a presence in the life of the “Dish Nation” host because Brat recently found himself at the top of the iTunes overall charts thanks to his long-time gossip and frequent collaborator Mariah Carey.

Brat says of their initial bond, “Maria and I are both Aries and we are both twelve forever, so we refrain from reading it.” Last month, Carrie’s 12-year-old album, “E = MC2”, continued to promote her fans on a Twitter hashtag. Has hit No. 1 after leaving. Brat “O.O.C.” The song has been caroted by “4real4real” since it appeared on the bonus track from the release of the 200 release.

Their relationship is related to the 1996 remix of Kerry’s “Always My Baby”, which coincidentally debuted the same year BRAC debuted in “Kazazam” with Shakil O’Neill in his film. “It was one of the most memorable moments of my life because I was a fan,” Brat said of Carrie. His first impression? Amazingly down-to-earth person. “You can say he was given shelter and can’t become himself.”

Brett and Jermaine Dupree were invited to the recording studio at the time. Kerry designed himself inside “Sing Singh”, the nickname of the singer at the Bedford Mansion, which he shared with his then-husband Tommy Matola, head of Son Music. Which he had signed. The residence was equipped with top-of-the-line recording gear.

“He had to whisper to talk to me because there were cameras everywhere and microphones on the walls,” Brat recalls. And there were two dozen shiny cars parked in the garage, with bubble-pink Cadillac, which caught Brat’s eye and inspired him to embark on a somewhat fun ride. “He said they were all his, so we rushed to one and I drove to our Burger King, which was like a mile down the road.”

According to Dupree, “all hell broke out” after their unintentional fast food race – you’d think they’d just broken a prison. “Honey, when I tell you Tommy Motola and the whole security team pulled their guns – they were looking for us and they were very disappointed,” said Brat, who jokingly described the armed forces as “mafia.” “I didn’t know he was like a caged bird; I’m just living my life like I was, ‘What happened to you all? We just went to Burger King to get some fried. “

Brett, who appeared with Kerry in 2001’s “Glitter,” believes the experience had a lasting effect on Kerry. “That’s why he’s so serious about making sure he makes all his decisions, writes all his songs and becomes a part of everything that happens in his career,” he told Kerry. “Having gone through all the bulls, he’s calling the shots now. He’s going to make sure. He’s got these strips, honey.”
