We've got the official scoop on R. Kelly's new album, Double Up before anyone else.

This is R Kelly’s eighth album featuring Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Keisha Cole, Chamillionaire, TI, T Pain & Usher. Kelly says 70 percent of the record will be up tempo but he assures fans that "there will be some slow jams on there."

Our DJs played their favourite track from the album. Here's what they had to say:

Having A Baby
"R Kelly does it again with his own distinctive slow jam style… Who else would sing about having a baby?"
