Teyana Taylor, aka Spike Tey, directed the official videos for “Pack Lite” and “Lie to Me” ft. Lil Durk.

After Zane Lowe premiered “Bitter” ft. Mulatto, it became the #1 trending song on Apple Music. Queen appeared on the cover of “New Music Daily” and “Bitter” took the #1 spot on the playlist. She revealed the album’s track listing in the form of a nostalgic 90’s sitcom introduction, featuring “Bitter” as the show’s theme song.

With the arrival of her 2018 self-titled debut EP, Queen emerged as an unstoppable new force in the R&B world. Queen Naija featured three Platinum-certified singles: “Butterflies,” “Karma” and her breakthrough hit “Medicine”—an independently released smash that made its staggering debut at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100, a nearly-unheard-of achievement for an unsigned artist. Along with debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, she earned major recognition in the 2019 awards season with nominations for Top R&B Artist at the Billboard Music Awards, Best New Artist at the BET Awards and three nods at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
