More new of D'Angelo from my good friends at Streethop.com.

D'Angelo is reportedly all done with rehab and back in the studio recording tracks for a new album.

According to reports, the Virginia native had been addressing his substance abuse problem at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Centre in Antigua.

The 32-year-old, born Michael Eugene Archer, is now back in the States trying to get his career back on track.

D'Angelo was in New York recently meeting with Virgin Records urban music president Jermaine Durpi, veteran music executive Gary Harris, who worked with D’Angelo on his 1994 breakthrough hit "Brown Sugar," and famous music industry manager Irving Azoff (Seal, Lenny Kravitz, Christina Aguilera).

In January 2005, D’Angelo was arrested near his Richmond, VA hometown and charged with drunk driving and drug possession. Police searched his vehicle and found substances they believed to be cocaine and marijuana. He was given a three-year suspended sentence after pleading no contest.

In November 2002, a woman alleged the singer cut her off in a lane leading to a shopping mall and then repeatedly and recklessly switched lanes. When the cops arrived at his house to serve him with misdemeanor charges of aggressive driving, the singer refuted the allegations and was further charged with resisting arrest.

On a sidenote, you know what this reminds my of? This remind me of the whole "Death Of Superman" storyline in the early 90s, when Superman "died" and went away and while he was off the scene, all of these wanna-bes (no offense to Lyfee, Novel, etc.) pop-up from outta nowhere claiming to be the man of steel. Its like we're witnessing the re-emergence process.

Thanks 4 the update. I'm about worn out waiting on this cat 2 do his thang.

Hopefully, he'll lose the weight and bless the ladies by recording another video in the buff...

It would be cool if Tip produced a track or 2. Does D'Angelo play guitar?His voice would sound cool on an acoustic guitar track or maybe a slow funk rock song.
