The CD is Hot, I mean on Fire!!! But the packing was like a bootleg, and the case was cracked up.
Obsessed with Nadirah
author: BlayneI love the voice of a sista when she sings the pleasures of life through my speakers and into my ears. This is something I would definately recommend to all the househeads out there. I hope to hear more of Nadirah.
