Brooklyn's Don Diva is the first mixtape by
Black Roses, the album that she has been working on since 2004 and was recorded in Chung King Studios in New York City. Several tracks ("When the Lights Go Out", "We Don't Surrender", "Star Cry") have been released to iTunes, as intended singles to promote the album. Three of the albums tracks were produced by Polish beatmaker Matheo.[12]
The album's release had been delayed multiple times, primarily due to Foxy Brown's jail sentence.[13] It sold only about 30,000 copies in the US.[14]
Chart performance
The album peaked at No. 83 on the Billboard 200 chart, No. 8 on the Independent Albums chart, and No. 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
