Khia Snatches The Cat Back - Gangstress Coming July 11, 2006

Atlanta, GA (TYGEREYE ENTERTAINMENT) - After her 2002 Gold-certified Thug Misses album spawned the club classic "My Neck, My Back," Khia is returning with her follow up album Gangstress, which will be released on July 11, 2006 through her own Thug Misses Entertainment in partnership with Warlock Records. The first single, 'Snatch The Cat Back,' is currently in rotation throughout the South, and the video will be released in June.

Khia's four-year hiatus from the studio was mainly due to her success overseas, where she has been performing endlessly to crowds that may not speak English, but know "My Neck, My Back" by heart. The love of her fans motivated Khia to begin composing the new songs, and the end result is her new Gangstress album.

The self-produced project spotlights Khia at her lyrical best, with no superstar guest features. Rather than going for big-name producers to create her vision, Khia relied on her own songwriting and composition abilities. She enlisted professional engineers J.A. and John Miller to assist her in running the boards, as she mapped out her club-savvy beats.

Born in Philadelphia and raised in Tampa, Khia now resides in Atlanta with her family. To date, she has sold over 800,000 records, and she never forgets the reason she is on top. 'My fans recognize my realness, and I'm always touring, no matter where," explains Khia. "I love to interact with my fans, because at the end of the day, it's all about them!'
