Tonight (Dec. 2), millions of people will tune in to the season finale of Empire, Fox's runaway hit about the rise and potential fall of a powerful record label. Those who do will be treated not just to the conclusion of the show's second season, but to a guest appearance and performance from a bona fide rap legend. Da Brat is slated for tonight's episode, and to capitalize on that forward momentum, she today shares a new single of her own. "#YAK (You Already Know)" features Eric Bellinger and Sage The Gemini, who also produces the track. The one-time So So Def star sounds as if she could slide nicely into today's radio rotation: "YAK" is all kinetic synths and tightly wound, crooned phrasing. For more of her, be sure to catch that Empire finale.
