VYP: Voice of the Young People  (Audio CD) 
by Lil Mama

Lil Mama's Jive Records debut, Voice Of The Young People explores the mindset of a young woman who is truly wise beyond her years. She has been in and out of various recording studios in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Miami and has worked with famed producers like Swizz Beatz and Scott Storch. Her debut album, Voice Of The Young People features a wide range of musical and topical issues. Lil Mama's first commercial hit "Lip Gloss" has quickly become a celebratory anthem for girls of all ages. Somber songs like "L.I.F.E." explore a foster child's journey and the hardships of a pregnant teenager while on "Broken Pieces" Lil Mama sings about a lost lover over a whining electric guitar rift. When not reflecting on her past heartache, the multi-talented triple threat proves she can throw down with the best of them. On "Shawty Get Loose" she teams up with label-mates Chris Brown and T-Pain for an up-tempo brag fest where Mama slices down the competition. "G-Slide (Tour Bus)" keeps the party going as Lil Mama raps over a Dirty South inspired 808 track while instructing her listeners how to do her dance. "What It Is (Strike A Pose)" features T-Pain and is a testament to Mama's wide ranging talent.
