Chrisette Michele Raves About Rick Ross Reunion On 'So In Love'

Chrisette Michele rocketed to the top of the charts in 2009 with her album Epiphany. In 2010, she beefed up her hip-hop cred by appearing on Rick Ross' "Aston Martin Music." Now, the rapper is returning the favor by making a cameo on her just-released album, Let Freedom Reign.

"It was something I was playing around with, [and I] put it together," she told about her latest collaboration with the MC, "So in Love." "And when it was all done, I said, 'Ross, can you drop a verse?' He did, and now he's a lovebird."

The smooth love jam is a follow-up to the big-pimpin' track they released over the summer. But this time the duo aren't singing about their love of a certain high-end luxury car; they are talking all about romance. "He's a really nice guy," she said of Ross' tough exterior, before adding that working with the rapper has been quite the change of pace. "I'm just a regular suburbia girl from Long Island. I happened to get onto a hip-hop record, and the response is crazy."

Michele was very involved in the whole album, including the Ne-Yo-penned, Chuck Harmony-produced lead single "I'm a Star." "I was the co-executive producer on it, and I wrote nine of the 10 songs," she said. "So I feel really, really a part of it."
