Wikipedia

  1. Double Up

    Double Up is a song off R&B singer R. Kellys eighth studio album of the same name. The song features Snoop Dogg, and revolves around Kelly's efforts to leave the club with two women (hence, he's "doubling up"). "Double Up" was in contention to be the third single released off the album; however, the other contender, "Rock Star," featuring Ludacris and Kid Rock, was chosen to be the third single. However, it reached number 1 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart shortly after the album was released. The song samples "Ice Berg" from singer-songwriter Tweet's 2005 album It's Me Again.
