Lil' Mo - Meet the Girl Next Door: Leftover Tracks [Unreleased, 2003]

It serves with no regard that Lil' Mo is undoubtedly one of the powerhouse talents from her era that was robbed of so much mainstream recognition thanks in part to her affiliation with a label (Elektra) known for its track-record of underpromoting, or otherwise, shelving singers if their Billboard charting entries aren't up to par with their unrealistic standards. So it should be no surprise that Mo clashed with the label on several occasions when it came to readying the release of her studio efforts.

Bad luck made way into her career early on when the "Superwoman" singer had begun piecing together her debut "Based on a True Story" (2001), only to find it going through several draft changes and a bizarre makeover that did not meet Mo's favorability. These pesky hurdles would continue onto her second outing "Meet the Girl Next Door" (2003), where Mo was to abandon several tracks ahead of the album's spring 2003 deadline and choose a hit-worthy lead single.

While it's unclear what all she was forced to omit albeit creatively or legally, we have the partial rundown of tracks that failed to make the final cut to Mo's underrated sophomore CD, track-listing is as follows:

1.) 21 Answers (feat. Free of 106 & Park)

2.) What We Do

3.) Smokin' & Strippin' (with Cheri Dennis)

4.) Best of Me

5.) Cynthia from the Block

6.) Who Shot Ya?

7.) Thug Nature (Always Ryde 4 U) (with Sheek Louch)

8.) Realest Niggaz Freestyle (Ja Rule Diss)

9.) Why Do We Fall in Love? (Remix) ft. Sho-Off of Pharcity
