Internationally known actress/television personality, Nene Leakes is thrilled to announce the release of her debut single on all streaming platforms. (Including iTunes, Tidal, & Spotify). In collaboration with battle-rapper turned music mogul, Shanell “Lady Luck’ Jones, the duo co-wrote a smash hit entitled, “Hunni”. Bringing the Southern Belle back to her stomping grounds of New York City, Leakes’ song was recorded in Won World Studios located in the heart of Times Square. This uptempo dance track produced by NYC hitmaker, Taylor Mayde also features introductory banter from media personality, Melissa “Miss Lissa” Finney. 

Nene Leakes is best known for her outspoken, reality tv demeanor however she’s no stranger to music. In a Baptist church, Leakes developed her love for melodies from her days of singing in the choir. The rhythmic admiration evolved to R&b/Hip-Hop as a young Nene transitioned into adulthood. Although Leakes was compelled to make music, her heart gravitated towards acting. Nene’s beauty and straightforward personality grabbed the attention of tv producers and over the years Nene began gracing television screens, on several platforms, including “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” {BRA VOTV), “The New Normal” {NBC), “I Drerun Of Nene” {BRA VOTV), and “Celebrity Apprentice” {NBC). Nene also had a starring role on Broadway in the production, “Cinderella” where she was able to utilize her singing voice as Madame. Followed by another amazing performance as Mama Morton in “Chicago”. 

When asked why she chose to work with a tv starlet turned artist, Lady Luck replied: 

” … When the universe has a plan for you, you move and don’t question serendipity. When Nene reached out, I absolutely knew we would make magic happen. It didn’t matter that she had never recorded before. I had no doubts and the vibe was right. Nene got in the booth and bodied it like a seasoned vet. Nobody would’ve guessed it was her first time.” 

With plans of taking their partnership to new heights, the ladies have already recorded a follow-up track, there are already talks of signing a major distribution deal and shooting an amazing music video.
