Well would you look at this shit? It took around 17 years and six albums, but with Black Rose Tyrese finally grabs the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. Who says using a sleeping homeless woman to promote your album is a bad thing? I guess everybody but whatever.
First off let me give props to Saule Wright because he told us that the album was good (I can’t remember if it was on an episode of the FROCAST or at the nappyafro offices aka group text).
Black Rose, which is supposedly Tyrese’s final album, sold around 83,000 units.
