And in today’s news, a string of songs from Victoria Beckham’s shelved Hip Hop album have leaked online.
According to MIRROR.CO.UK, the project was recorded in 2003 when the former Spice Girls member became close friends with Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, Damon Dash.
The publication reports that last month, a demo disc featuring tracks that would have appeared on the album (titled Come Together) was auctioned on eBay and since then, various cuts from the cancelled project have surfaced online.
The album features collaborations with Ol’ Dirty Bastard on “That Dude” and Brownsville duo M.O.P. on “DAT Simple.”

Reportedly, Dash previously spoke to The Evening Standard about the album.
“Because Victoria’s record company aren’t happy about the fact that she came over to New York to work with me they are putting out stories,” Dash said. “Before anyone’s even heard the album they were making things up.
“I heard a story that Victoria was calling herself the female Eminem,” he added. “That’s just dumb. She never said that. I’m going to open Roc-a-Fella Records in London. I’ll show these Telstar cats how it’s done.”
Following her time with the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham went on to release her self-titled debut album in 2001. In 2004, she left the music business to focus her efforts on fashion.

Come Together was one of two albums Victoria Beckham had cancelled during her time as a solo artist. Both projects (the other titled Open Your Eyes) were scrapped due to the disappointing sales of her debut album.
