Repost This Article

After her performance at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, Eve sat down with Essence.Com and talked about love and her future in Hip Hop.  The “Gangsta Lovin’” rapper revealed,  her new album “Lip Lock” is coming in the fall; her dream collaboration is with fellow rapper Lauryn Hill; she’s in love with boyfriend and race car driver Maximillion Cooper; and much more…

Check the interview below:

ESSENCE.COM: Inquiring minds want to know: when’s the new album coming  out?

EVE: The album is coming out this year, for  sure. It took a long time just because I wanted to make sure that it was perfect  and right. I’m really happy with it. In fact, I’m more than happy with it – I  love it!

ESSENCE.COM: Can we expect any surprises on Lip  Lock?

EVE: You definitely will hear me evolve,  and you will hear my growth. But, at the same time, I really wanted to bridge my  core audience with where I am now. I didn’t want anybody to feel like they were  left out. And, I think I did that.
 

ESSENCE.COM: Musically  speaking, what haven’t you done yet that you’re looking to do in the  future?

EVE: My dream collaboration is with Lauryn  Hill. Is that ever gonna happen? Who knows! But there’s still a lot I feel like  musically I could do. 

ESSENCE.COM: What are you listening to  right now?

EVE: I listen to every thing, all kinds  of stuff. I’ve been obsessed with the Nas and Damian Marley record, Distant  Relatives. I feel like a lot of people haven’t heard it, and it’s  amazing.
 

ESSENCE.COM: Are you still happily in  love?

EVE: I am,  thankfully!
 

ESSENCE.COM: Will we hear wedding bells  soon?

EVE: He better! (Big laughs.) Seriously! Ha!  But, right now, we’re really, really happy.

Sounds like Eve is truly enjoying her life.  It’s a good thing she moved on from her philandering ex-boyfriend Stevie J.  Don’t you think?
