Kandi Burruss, the former member of Xscape who is currently best-known for her star turn on Bravo’s end-of-the-nu-gilded-age chronicle The Real Housewives Of Atlanta, has self-released a new single that will apparently serve as the teaser for her forthcoming album B.L.O.G., which will reportedly have guest spots from the likes of Rick Ross and Missy Elliott. The album is apparently going to be all about what it’s like to be famous—the acronym in the title stands for “Bitches Love Online Gossip”—and the first single, “Fly Above,” is a keyboard-drenched track about how she doesn’t pay attention to those people she deems “haters,” simply by flying above them and theirassortment of issues. Wait, so what does it mean when she’s writing songs about said haters and releasing them to iTunes? So confusing, this modern world in which we live. Clip after the jump. More »

It’s after the jump (above is the video for Xscape’s “Just Kickin’ It,” which peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 1993): More »
