"Everytime Tha Beat Drop" is a R&B song written by Johnta Austin, Jermaine Dupri, Charles Hammond, Robert Hill Jr., Geangelo Hunt, James Phillips and Dem Franchize Boys for Monica's fourth studio album A Dozen Roses (2006).

I'm not usually the one to start threads, but I was kind of sad that she decided to release this. the song is all right, but I don't think many people will like it, plus it's not her style. I hope the album still sells well. I hope it has some good R&B tracks, too.
A "remastered" version was released, but I think it sounds pretty much the same.
Big Monica fan, but I'm not sure about a song sampling "Grillz" as a first single.
There has been pressure on Monica to be more "street" and "urban" (why All Eyez On Me was recorded and later turned into After The Storm). I just think it's going to make the material suffer.

I completely agree. And as big of a fan as I am, I may not choose to support her if she does indeed go the "street" route. That's not the Monica I grew up listening to. The real Monica is simply soul with a harder edge.
