August 08, 2006 - Atlanta’s R&B songstress Monica is back with her new single titled “Everytime Tha Beat Drop”, which is the first off her upcoming album, "The Making of Me", expected to drop in late September. The song, produced by Jermaine Dupri, features the “snap” superstars themselves, Dem Franchize Boyz. The album is also graced with tracks produced by Missy Elliot, Bryan Michael Cox, and acclaimed R&B songwriter, Sean "The Pen" Garrett.

"This album is really the makings of me because it talks about so many different scenarios, both good and bad, that have pretty much brought me to the point where I'm at mentally," Monica tells Billboard.com. "We found different ways to put in the last 11 years of my life and make this more of a musical diary where people can really see me in a lot of different lights for once."
