Teairra Mari caught our eye when she was signed to Jay-Z's label Def Jam Records a few years ago, but after a few setbacks and some time spent out of the spotlight, she's making a comeback. Her new album At That Point features collaborations with Kanye West and Flo Rida, and we expect it to be stuck in our heads just like her "Blame It" remix with T-Pain. Read on to get Teairra's strict dating mottos and to find out what makes her different from other R&B singers out there.

How does it feel to come back after parting ways with Jay-Z and Def Jam?
It feels great. It's a blessing to be able to have a second chance to do this. A lot of people give up, but I'm very, very young, so it's great. I'm ecstatic and I'm very excited about this album.
