Ne-Yo featuring Jadakiss & Fabolous – One In A Million (Remix)

After admitting that he was quite disturbed hackers that messed up the first week sales of his new album Libra Scale, singer Ne-Yo recruits the likes of Jadakiss and Fabolous to assist him on the third single of the project “One In A Million”. It remains to be seen if this effort will gain a much more broader appeal of this record or not, but this time there should be no hackers involved.
