Left Eye's N.I.N.A. album to be released!

Just recently, Death Row records said that they would not release her final album for fear of looking like they were cashing in. I guess the demand was so strong for it, they've changed their mind. I am SOOO happy about this. Her debut solo album Supernova was wonderful. This is the story according to MTV news:

Suge Knight, who recently signed a distribution deal with Koch Records, plans to release the long-talked-about second Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes solo album on Tha Row in October, according to a spokesperson for the storied exec.

Left Eye's first solo venture, Supernova, was released overseas by Arista Records last year and streamed on her Web site, www.eyenetics.com (see "Left Eye Plans To Stream Delayed Album"), as it was not released in America. Frustrated, Left Eye aligned herself with Suge at the top of this year (see "Left Eye Signs With Suge Knight's Tha Row") and was recording an album for Tha Row under the moniker N.I.N.A. shortly before her death in April (see "Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes Killed In Car Accident").

No details on the N.I.N.A. project have been released as of yet, and Knight was unavailable for comment.

Left Eye will also be heard on the new LP by her group, TLC. Arista Records has set a November 12 release date for that album (see "T-Boz, Chilli To Complete Fourth TLC Album").

don't believe Suge look at all the 2Pac Albums? Pac got so Many Albums out&still coming He makes Prince look like He is at a Snail Pace? Suge is always thinking Dollars don't be fooled.I bet this Album will drop right at the same time as the New TLC Album? you know Sharks will strike at any time.

Are we the only ones who care about this? I thought maybe more people would be interested.

yeah because while She was a Wild Card&had Her CHarm&Talent She wasn't the kind of Artist that folks would care about Solo overall IMHO.She had a "IT" within a Group Concept like Dennis Rodman if you will but as far as being the Solo Act it's not the same.She can make others interesting but She herself never had that Vibe.it ain't like it was with Ayaliyah you know?

Please don't buy the NINA project (if it ever gets released). This is part of a post that Left Eye's brother left on her official site's message board.

"Suge continues to say that he is releasing Lisa's project or that he owns the masters. He does not have this legal right. La Reid says its just hype and they have not given him the permission to do any such thing. Also Koch records (supposedly Suges distributing company) has no knowledge of Lisa's album being released. What bothers me is fans believing what Suge is saying. There is NO NINA album. Lisa only recorded two songs with Suge. We are still negotiating with Arista and trying to come to some sort of solution. We do however keep a close eye on what Suge is doing. He does hold Lisa's Masters (cuz of L.A.'s dummy move) but he does not own them."

What Suge wants to release is the two songs Left Eye recorded for him, and Supernova tracks remixed with Tha Row artists.

'supernova' had a couple of cool moments...especially 'the block party...'
..after hearing 'the block party' i was very hopeful for the music to come from left-eye...
i am sorry to hear about the confusion surrounding the NINA project...and i'm sorry to hear that suge knight is apparently trying to cash in on her...
..it's not often i actually cry when i hear about celebrity deaths, but left-eye's death actually hit me pretty hard..
r.i.p lisa...

I still don't understand why Left-Eye ever aligned herself with a shady character like Suge Knight in the first place.He does nothing but EXPLOIT and rip-off all of his artists,just ask Dre,Snoop and the others.To this day,he is still exploiting Tupac.
