R Kelly I Admit It Album Download Zip
Partenia Urtiaga
According to TMZ, Kelly recorded his statement on Friday (December 9), just hours after the album appeared on all the major streaming platforms as a surprise new project. In the audio statement, R. Kelly not only denies he had anything to do with the album, but also maintains that the voice on the project is not his.
After decades of allegations, dozens of alleged victims, and multiple convictions, the last thing the world needs is more of his music. But on Friday, a new album surfaced and TMZ reports that R. Kelly claims he had nothing to do with it.
Billboard reported Friday that the album was somehow uploaded to streaming services by Ingrooves, a Universal Music Group-owned distributor, not Kelly's label nor his team. However, Ingrooves execs quickly asked for the album to be pulled after learning of the record drop.
Some listeners have taken to dissecting Kelly's latest release. The Hollywood Reporter noted that the album features "I Admit," a 19-minute song that was first released via SoundCloud back in 2018. On Kelly's new album, though, it was reportedly divided into three parts.
The Wrap noted in 2018 that "I Admit" includes the seemingly damning chorus: "I admit it / I did it." Kelly was facing allegations of pedophilia at the time and claims that he was holding women as sex slaves.
However, he appeared to have released an album called I Admit from his prison cell this week. The project has since been wiped from streaming platforms, and his former label and team are speaking out.
According to multiple reports, Real Talk Entertainment released the bootleg R. Kelly album. The project was uploaded by Universal Music Group-owned distributor Ingrooves, which reportedly cut ties with Real Talk due to the debacle.
I Admit It is a bootleg album credited to R&B artist R. Kelly that was published to streaming platforms in December 2022. The title of the album and lyrical content of the songs references the singer's sexual abuse crimes, which he was convicted for in 2021, making it seem as if he is admitting to the crimes. The album inspired numerous memes and reactions and was removed from streaming platforms hours after its release. R. Kelly denied recording the music, claiming the voice on the album is not his. Allegedly, it was uploaded to streaming platforms by Universal Music Group-owned distributor Ingrooves and Real Talk Entertainment, who has no ties to Sony Music, R. Kelly's former label.
On December 9th, 2022, multiple news outlets, including TMZ,[1] reported that R. Kelly had released a new album on streaming platforms titled I Admit It. The album comes in at around 56 minutes long and contains 13 tracks total. The album was reuploaded to YouTube[2] that day by PluggingFr, garnering over 327,000 views in three days (shown below).
The most notable tracks on the album are, "I Admit It (I Did It), Pt. 1," "I Admit It (I Did It), Pt. 2" and "I Admit It (I Did It), Pt. 3." The songs were originally released to R. Kelly's SoundCloud in 2018 as a single 19-minute track but has since been deleted. The full track was reuploaded to YouTube[3] in July of that year, garnering over 2.6 million views in four years (shown below). The song's lyrics feature Kelly singing about his trial and allegations, including deflection and denial of some aspects of the conviction.[4]
TMZ[6] published an article that day sharing that R. Kelly denied recording the album. He was quoted as saying, "I hope people recognized my voice and know that," suggesting it is not his voice on the album.
The album gained viral spread following its release on streaming platforms as many people believed it was a genuine release from R. Kelly. For example, on December 9th, 2022, Twitter[7] user @SaycheeseDGTL shared that the album was released, garnering over 65,000 likes in three days. Twitter[8] user @InfernoOmni posted a video where he reacts to a section of one of the songs, garnering over 9,300 likes in the same span of time (shown below).
On December 11th, TikToker[9] @averagemusiclover911 posted a review of the album, giving it a 0/10, garnering over 846,000 views in a day (shown below, left). On the same day, TikToker[10] @alwaysmarco posted a reaction to a section of "I Admit It (I Did It)" where he sings, "What's the definition of a cult? What's the definition of a sex slave?" garnering over 1.5 million views in the same span of time (shown below, right). While many people criticized R. Kelly for seemingly releasing an album from jail that denies his convictions, others praised Kelly for his musical ability and considered the album good.[11][12]
On Friday (Dec. 8), R. Kelly released a new album tilted I Admit It with lyrics addressing the years of sexual and physical abuse allegations made against him. He was recently sentenced to 30 years in prison. He is facing federal charges for producing child pornography and luring minors into sex acts.
The 13-track album features songs titled "I Found Love," "Where's Love, When You Need It," "Good Ole Days," "I Know You Got a Man (I Don't Care)," and "Freaky Sensation." The last song called "I Admit It (I Did It) is broken up into three parts and he reveals all the things he has done in the past. It was originally a full 19-minute track that was uploaded to SoundCloud back in 2018.
"R. Kelly dropped an album from prison. The last [three] tracks are titled "I Admit it (I Did it)". In part [two] he says he admits he f**ks [with] the younger ladies but it being pedophilia is [ya'll] opinions, not fact [and] he shouldn't be in jail based on [ya'll] opinions. ELECTRIC CHAIR!!!" _GodHerself tweeted.
Marcgriffin27 tweeted, "R. Kelly dropping an album entitled 'I Admit It' is nasty. An album from a rapist and pedo admitting he's a rapist and pedo, but then questioning whether he's truly a rapist and pedophile OR if that's just the public's opinion?????? GUILLOTINE. IMMEDIATELY."

Give Me Everything 03:46 buy track about Whenever people who know a lot about music are struggling to describe what an album sounds like, that is a positive sign -- at least from an artistic standpoint (as opposed to a strictly commercial or marketing standpoint). Formulaic, cookie-cutter albums are easy to describe and easy to categorize because the person doing the describing has already heard a ton of similar albums. But if the album is difficult to describe and difficult to categorize, that indicates that the artist is striving for originality and isn't afraid to take chances.
Singer/producer Percy Howard's A Pleasant Fiction is that type of album. If one plays this 52-minute CD five different people, it is likely to be categorized five different ways.
Perhaps the most accurate description is "avant-garde rock with elements of soul, blues, and avant-garde jazz." Leading his group the Meridiem Project, Howard is clearly going for both abstraction and bluesy soulfulness. The performances are, in fact, soulful, but they are also cerebral, abstract, dissonant, and left of center. As R&B-minded as A Pleasant Fiction is, there is no way that one is going to hear "Chase the Blues Away" (an unlikely remake of the Tim Buckley song), "Melting" or "Carlotta" on an urban contemporary station alongside Usher, Beyoncé Knowles, R. Kelly, or Alicia Keys -- the performances are way too eccentric for that. But then, Howard obviously wasn't trying to be commercial. This is soulfulness for the Knitting Factory crowd; A Pleasant Fiction is soulfulness for Nina Simone fans who can also appreciate James Blood Ulmer, Sun Ra, Ann Dyer, and Betty Carter. Howard and his Meridiem Project have delivered an excellent album that yields major rewards, but only for those who can accept Howard's experimentation on its own daring terms. $(".tralbum-about").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_about"), "more", "less"); credits released January 24, 2023
