• Last Solo LP By Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Set For Release

    Thursday Sep 25 11:14 AM CDT posted by xxl staff

    Late rapper Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of TLC fame will have her final solo album released on November 11 through Mass Appeal Entertainment.

    The 12-track project, titled “Eye-Legacy,” will feature collaborations with Miss Elliot, Chamillionaire, Lil Mama, and Bobby Valentino.

    The first single, “Let’s Just Do It,” featuring Missy.

    The songs on “Eye-Legacy” featuring unreleased vocals from Lopes.

    Previously, the TLC star released a solo album, Supernova, that was only released in Europe and a failed union with Death Row as a solo artist–under the name N.I.N.A.–resulted in no material being released.

    “We hope people understand the message in Lisa’s music and appreciate her as not just a member of TLC, but as a solo artist as well. This album is Left Eye’s musical gift to her fans and adds to the beauty of her legacy,” the Lopes family commented in a statement.

    The fiery rapper long hoped for a solo career as successful as her her collaborative work with TLC had become. At one point Lopes even challenged her group mates, T-Boz and Chili, to all release solo albums the same day and to determine the winner by album sales.

    Lopes died in April of 2002 in Honduras during a car accident. She was only 31. A documentary on her last days wad produced by VH1 titled “The Last Days of Left Eye.”—LaTisha Robbins

    It’s about time. I guess the family had to go through a lot red tape just to get the rights to release her material. It would have been nice just to see her as a solo artist and see how she could grow with her material as she releases more of her various projects. Sometimes your first solo project doesn’t usually goes as well as you hope it to. As she began to do more solo work and grow from each project, she’ll begin to see what she could do better so that her fans could appreciate her more or even win or even gain some new fans that would have never even listen her music. It even more sad because she’ll never get the chance to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

    I saw VH1’s “The Last Days of Left Eye”. It was very inspiring. As an artist she was very talented and as a person she had alot of compassion and was very humble. She had one of the sexiest voices and I can’t wait to hear her unreleased work.
