Since the release of Tyrese's "Black Rose" album, he's been urging fans to support real R&B and buy the album. He even took to the NYC Subway to promote and sell his album to fans. The entire trek was caught on his Instagram page and propelled his album to the number one spot.

However, that number one spot has been wavering heavily between "Black Rose" and an album that hasn't even been released yet.

Teh intense part is that "Black Rose" is in competition with an album that hasn't even been released. Vote in the poll below and let us know who's album you are going for.
