KC QUICK NEWS: KC SUPPORTS CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS & ALBUM #4

Evening #KCRyders! As you know we strive to keep you updated with the latest new in regards to our girl KC. She busy working hard on that fourth album of hers so all, has been quiet as of late.

 Last week KC attended several Chicago Blackhawks games in support of bf, Ray Emery (#30) who acts as a goalie for the team. Amazing things transpired over that weekend, with the Blackhawks going on to win 19 straight games without a regulation loss! That's major! You can view several photos from the high octane sports weekend above & below

Album #4

Keshia posted the teaser above photo on her Instagram yesterday (@keshiachante), entitled "#4".

There is, and will continue to be a lot of mystery surrounding Keshia's fourth album. "What will it sound like?", "Who will she collaborate with?" "What will here look for her fourth era be like?", those are a lot of the questions that we've been seeing in regards to the discussions. Of course, Ms. Keshia's been quiet about the whole creative process, but here's hoping we get some kind of video diary, or 'road to... album #4' mini-doc as an added bonus on her website & new album when it's all done. One thing is for sure, I do hope everything is hammered out as far as her logo and the merch store by the time she releases her album. That would be the icing on the cake.
