Snoop Dogg, Lil' Kim, & Erick Sermon Turn Up On 'RL:ements'

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - R.L. of Next is tentatively scheduled to release his long-awaited solo debut, RL:ements, on April 23. The first single from the set is the Jermaine Dupri-produced "Got Me A Model" featuring Erick Sermon. Lil' Kim and Snoop Dogg also turn up on the album's song "Do U Wanna Roll."

In a recent statement, R.L. explained how his solo work is different from his work with Next: "Being in a group, I only got to express one-third of myself. I don't want to limit myself by doing something that's just comfortable for me. On this album, I drew outside the lines."

The tentative tracklisting for RL:ements includes:
"Elements,"
"Got Me A Model,"
"Whatcha Wanna Do,"
"Ghetto," "Good Man,"
"I'll Give You Anything,"
"Tempted/Temptation Island,"
"K.N.O.W.",
"Damn!",
"Model Chick,"
"Luv Led Me 2 U,"
"As Long As U Know,"
"Do U Wanna Roll," and
"Thank You."

R.L. released two albums with his bandmates T-Low and Tweety as Next, including 1997's double-platinum Rated Next, and 2000's gold-certified Welcome II Nextasy.
