Wondering where Mya‘s been for the last few years? Well, she’s split most of her time between Japan (where she released her fourth and fifth albums, Liberation and Sugar and Spice) and Houston (she was featured on Bun B‘s Good II Me and Z-Ro‘s Tired, both of which get constant spins on my hard drive). Now, she’s back, and she’s linked her Planet 9 label with J-Prince Jr.‘s Young Empire Music to release her sixth set, Beauty In The Streets (Vol. 1). On new single Show Me Something, Mya once again looks to the Dirty South for inspiration, hoping to ride into the sunset with a local d-boy. Fortunately, Bun B is ready, willing, and able to fill that position—he only asks that she treat him like the boss he is. Producer Bottz’ synth-heavy beat might not appeal to devotees of Mya’s early work, but the singer’s “first lady of the South” status should help her attract a new fanbase in anticipation of Beauty In The Streets (Vol. 1)‘s arrival this fall.

Without letting us know about it, I think my friend Bun B has started to pull ahead of Ludacris as both the top guest emcee and most frequently-featured guest emcee on Booth feature. It seems like he has a new gig weekly, am I right?
Nice to hear from Mya. This is her range and she excels here. |

The most featured guest MC on the Booth would have to be Lil Wayne, though Bun B & Luda are much more consistent.
Its been a while since I heard a track from Mya. This track isnt something id put in my rotation, though its still a reasonably solid. Bun B was a good choice for a guest spot |

Mya is currently my desktop wallpaper. She don't even know man...
I'm in that glass house right now (shouts to The Game...lol (inside joke. Holla if you understood). She sounds so sexy on this. The production snaps off hard. Bottz put his dirty drawes in this one. It's bout time Mya takes the female R&B game back over, cuz Beyonce, Ciara and Keri is smashing the industry right now. Let my girl Mya get a taste of that. And maybe Mya will let me do the same...lol LOL...J/K, J/K. Maybe |

This is a good look for Mya. The production is tight and it never hurts to have Bun on the track (unless he outshines you, which now that that I think about it, he does that a lot.) Anyway, Mya sounded good though.
@Z - What an epic battle between Luda and Bun for the most consistent guest emcee. Imagine if they collaborated. |

First off, I highly respect Mya and her efforts, and it's nice to see her try something new. She went hard on this. Bun B was nice too.
Second, I love the production, especially on Bun B's verse. This is worthy of 5 stars. |

A hard beat. Her voice is appealing but not spectacular. Rotation but I won't be going out of my way to listen to it anytime soon even though it features Bun B (fcukin love his voice) who as usual rides the beat with ease while kickin dope! rhymes.

Nice banger from Mya here! Excellent production and good voice. She hasn't got the best voice ever, but she's respectable

LMAO at M.H. If you like me, you only Jk unless she gon do it. I'm had a crush on mya since J.High. This is a buzz worthy single for mya. Her fiery personality bleeds though a banging beat. Bun B is royalty.
