#EXCLUSIVE: KESHIA CHANTE'S "THE VALLEY" DUE 11/11

Evening #KCRyders! We've got some exciting news to share. After what seems like forever and a day, the silence will be broken from our girl, Keshia on Friday November 11, 2016. "The Valley", her newly anticipated single (after her four-year hiatus from the music scene) is set to drop 11/11. The project itself is helmed as Keshia's FIRST worldwide release to her fan base under her independent imprint KChanteInc. set to drop later this year. Releasing right on the heels of the fifth anniversary of her last solo effort, "Night & Day", "The Valley" a ballad penned with Elle Vee, will showcase a "more mature" Chante. And if that doesn't spark your intrigue, with this single comes brand new look that showcases an edgier, confident, and subtly sensual woman that's asserting her womanhood and has finally come into her own.

You'll have to wait a few days to hear the "dawning of a new era"... but is clear that "Chante Season" has returned!

For 14 years, BET’s 106 + Park has not only redefined television for millenials, but made stars out of its hosts. Filling the shoes of 106 legends like AJ Calloway, Free, Rocsi Diaz and Terrence J. may seem a daunting task, but current host Keshia Chante makes it look easy. Alongside “King of 106” Bow Wow, the Toronto native is quickly carving her own piece of BET history.
Already a bonafide star in her native Canada, Keshia’s infectious energy wins over viewers every night and now we know why. Vixen was recently invited to the 106&Park HQ’s for some girl time with the singer and host. During our mani sesh, Keshia was an open book as she told us all the juicy deets about 106 and her life off-camera.

In this urban character drama, Will is an ambitious young adult ready to turn his favorite hobby into a career. However, he has to deal with his sister's boyfriend, Devon, first. Shot down and now physically scarred, Devon has been using his disability against Will and guilt tripping their friendship.
