The first time I heard Chrisette Michele was on the hook of “Lost Ones” by Jay-Z. She hasn’t fallen too far from the tree, already releasing one album under Jay’s Def Jam Records and a second one on the way. The second single to be leaked off her upcoming sophomore album, “What You Do” features Ne-Yo and sends a clear message that actions speak louder than words.
