Rapsody triumphs over insecurities and transgressions in ‘Please Don’t Cry’

Rapsody is back with her latest and most personal album to date, “Please Don’t Cry.” Boasting star power features from guests like Erykah Badu, Lil Wayne, and commentary from Phylicia Rashad, the three-time Grammy nominee candidly rhymes about issues like physical insecurities, appealing to a wider audience and even a relationship she has some regrets about.
