For years, Faith Evans hinted at a collaboration album with her late husband rapper The Notorious B.I.G., but now it seems like it will soon become a reality.

Taking to her Instagram account, Evans has shared the progress of the album with her fans along with the simple message “The King And I Duets album. BIG & Faye 2016. Stay tuned — it’s gonna be [fire]".

She also showed photos of herself in the studio with producer Stevie J. who produced for Faith as well as the Notorious B.I.G. early in his career.

Joining them in the studio was Kelly Price, another frequent Faith collaborator and fellow R&B Divas star, who apparently laid down some vocals. Price of course also collaborated with B.I.G. while singing her vocals on his hit “Mo Money Mo Problems”.

The news of the new Faith Evans project comes just weeks after she released her Faith20 EP with remakes of songs from her debut album as a free treat to her fans.

Faith20 is dopeness

I'd really like to hear this. Hopefully Puffy and some other Bad Boy producers will be involved. Stevie J is a great name to have involved so it's in good hands.

Never heard of the Faith20 project either so will check that out as well.

I like her, but really what's the point in re-recording songs from your debut album and then calling the project Faith20? I can just pull out the original debut album that has always been a gem in my book and just listen to that. Seems like she's stretching. But a duets album with Notorius BIG? Hmm, I don't know. Seems like another attempt to stay relevant. I would like to think that she's above all of this.
