Radio personality Wendy Williams has assembled some of her favorite Hip-Hop and R&B artists to present Wendy Williams Brings the Heat Vol. 1, featuring the likes of Jadakiss, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Black Rob, and M.O.P.

"I'm a lover of music, and getting the opportunity to put out this CD has helped me express the full range of my love of R&B and hip-hop," Williams said in a statement. "This album is another outlet to talk to my fans. With my books, my radio shows, television -- this is an aspect of media that I really hadn't thought of before."

Exclusive tracks include "Man Up" by Amerie featuring Nas, "Everytime," a collaboration between Jaheim and Jadakiss, and Black Rob's "Warrior."

Williams has been a radio jock at New York 's Hot 97, Philly's Power 99, and currently New York's WBLS.

The New Jersey native's previous forays outside radio included several specials on VH1 and a tell-all biography about her rise to fame and personal affairs.

Wendy Williams Brings the Heat Vol . 1 is scheduled for release on June 28 through Virgin Records. The album was executive-produced by Kevin 'PPG' Hunter.

I doubt it! Her speaking voice is annoying enough.

I thought this was just a compliation thing she was putting together, not something she was performing on YIKES!

dancerella said:

this is gonna be the most shit-on album since courtney love's solo record last year.

dancerella said:

She's not recording an album, it's just a compilation of tracks she likes.

Oh, I was about to say.

twink69 said:

That's what I gathered from it. It'd probably be a lot more interesting if she DID sing on it.

aww,I wanted her to actually sing. I don't see why everyone's hatin' on Wendy.....I love her show.

I hate to say it but some of her gossip happens to true at times.

So nothing's scared? Well, I'm sure she'll apperciate the kind reviews by celebrities when it comes out.... Her speaking voice isn't excatly great!

If you're celebrity there is nothing sacred if your popular, you better start worrying if people stop talking about you b/c that means you popularity goes down. Its the sacrifice that you have to pay for being famous.

But she's not even famous...she's famous for being famous. If she thinks she's going to make a bid at the mainstream, she better thank again. My momma saw her on TV and thought she was a drag queen. She kept asking "Is that a man?" like tha answer was going to change.
