"LIP LOCK is the album I've always wanted to make and it represents me coming back in to game-lyrically locking it down. But I also like the title because it's can be a play on words," says EVE.

To add to the excitement EVE also dropped the "She Bad Bad" (Remix) f/ Pusha T and Juicy J on the radio today and fans can access a stream of it by simply 'following' her twitter account @therealeve<https://twitter.com/therealeve>.  This comes to fans the day after she kicked off National Mentoring Month in Washington DC with Big Brothers Big Sisters, to promote awareness and volunteer membership for the organization. She also debuted a soon-to-be released single, "Make It Out This Town" at the private event.

With album sales totaling nearly 10 million, Eve is a genuine star in the worlds of music, fashion and film. Recognized as one of hip hop's most celebrated female MCs, she has received accolades as diverse as her career, ranging from a GRAMMY Award, to an NAACP Image Award, MTV Video Music Award and a BET Award, as well as multiple nominations from across the industry for her work. As the only female in the Ruff Ryders crew that consisted of rappers DMX, The Lox and Drag-on, Eve stood out as the sexy, no-nonsense street savvy, ride-or-die chick that could hold her own amongst the boys. Anchored by chart-topping singles like the vivacious "Gotta Man" and the anti-domestic abuse classic "Love Is Blind" Eve's 1999 debut album Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryder's First Lady was a double platinum success. Her 2001 sophomore release Scorpion went platinum, while garnering her crossover appeal with the Grammy Award winning mega-hit "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," featuring Gwen Stefani.
