Last night Alicia Keys continued the exhale portion of an album release: you know, parties and TV appearances to talk about the inspiration behind the music. J Records held their official soiree for Alicia at The Grand in New York City.

Check the entrance: not a classier chick in the spotlight right now.

Her dude, Kerry “Krucial” Brothers aka ‘struck the lottery’ was there too.

Who this guy is isn’t important, the look on his face pays the price of admission.

See the kid in the middle? That’s Rich Hilfiger, of the Tommy Hilfigers. “Rich’ isn’t a play on words, his name is Rich.

Talib made sure to get flicked, he was everywhere, this time with Alica and DJ EQ.

that bitch is fine

4 hahahaha Fri, Nov 16, 2007 - 6:52 pm

the dude with the “deer-meet-headlight” expression is AK’s manager Jeff Robinson

The dude in the other “picture-says-it-all” shot, is Kingpin aka J.Conrad Robinson (Jeff Robinson’s brother and the one who discovered Alicia Keys)

Alicia’s boyfriend’s name is not Krucial Keys.  Krucial Keys is the name of their production company.  His name is Kerry “Krucial” Brothers.

I knew Krucial’s government name, not the PD company though. I wrote Krucial Keys thinking,“Man, that’s so cheese, Alicia and Krucial KEYS?” Either way, I stand firm on lottery winner. Haha.

Keep doin your thang Ms. Keys.  I love all of your work.  Love the album, but not as much as The Diary of Alicia Keys.  By favorite so far.  So real and personal.  Still have it in my iPhone next to Mary J. Blige’s classic: What’s the 411?.
