JT & Hov Are on Some Suit & Tie ish

When you haven't released a single for six years, it's understandable that you'd want to make a grand re-entrance back into the game. Still, after a week long countdown leading up to a big announcement on his website, I don't think anyone could have anticipate something as epic as his new single Suit & Tie featuring a cameo verse from @s_c_ and production from @timbaland. It's a song that has three personalities, an intro, a middle and an ending where the beat flips on Hov's verse. If you're looking for grown and sexy R&B, you've got your track right here.

Along with the release of the track, JT posted the following open letter on his site...
An Open Letter to you (the fans):

I hope this gets to you the right way. It's the only way I know to do it. Some people may criticize me for the last 3 days. But it was fun, right?? Right?!?! Besides, I'd rather speak directly to all of you. And, who can knock me for having a little bit of fun with it?

Well... No more teasing. Although, it was A LOT of fun. (Did I mention that I'm having fun with this?? Ha!)

*Makes a serious face*

So, here goes:

This year is an exciting one for me. As you probably have heard through the "grapevine," I'm gearing up for a big 2013.

Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now, my next journey with that thing I love called MUSIC.

The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career... Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process.

What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way.

I'm calling it "The 20/20 Experience," and it's coming out this year.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.

That's all I'm giving you for now... I know, I know! Again, with the teasing!!!

Get ready. This is going to be fun (well, at least it is for me).
