According to one of Rihanna’s music producers, the troubled singer just finished wrapping up her next album.
Still riding high off the success of her platinum album, LOUD, Rihanna is now doing post-production work on the album during her visit home in Barbados.
Verse Simmonds and his partner Sham “Sak Pase” Joseph, who previously worked on “Man Down”, have made two songs for the Bajan singer, according to MTV via Ace Showbiz.
“From what I understand, she is closing the album up now, and we did two records for her that she really, really loved and I’m really excited about them as well,” he dished on. “They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts.”
Talking about the sound they crafted for RiRi, Simmonds said it’s different from the reggae-infused “Man Down”. “We always try to constantly – as producers, as artists – we try to always come with something different, a whole new sound,” he stated.

Does Chris Brown Wish He Was Black?
Troubled singer Chris Brown released the cover art for his upcoming mixtape titled Boy in Detention, dropping August 5th. The cover art depicts a young, brown skinned thug with a row of gold teeth and short cropped hair. It takes a minute for it to sink in that the ‘boy’ is Brown himself.

Obama’s announcement, which came just hours before the government’s deadline for paying social security and EBT checks, reflected a positive uptick in the stock markets and a rise in the value of the dollar abroad.
But the black middle class — which is rapidly shrinking in America — will likely bear the brunt of the hefty tax increases that are sure to come as a result of the new deal.
