LIL SUZY is going to have a littler Suzy!

We're a little belated here, but it seems that congratulations are in order for one of dance music's infamous divas... LIL SUZY!

The Princess of Freestyle is 6 and 1/2 months pregnant with a baby girl!

It's been a while since we've heard new music from Suzy, and now we know why: she's been playing wife and (soon to be) mother :)

If you need a refresher course on exactly WHY Lil Suzy has her place in dance music industry, here's the short of it: at the age of 14, this Freestyle Diva became the youngest EVER President of a record label (her own Empress Records). Of course, there's also the fact that she was performing alongside artists like Judy Torres by the age of 8, had churned out her first hit by the age of 13 ("Take Me in Your Arms"), and spent the next two decades popping out dance projects that I, for one, love. Of course, I'm not gonna lie... I always DID get a little self-conscious about having a CD that said "LIL SUZY" in my car. Haha. Manly pride, y'know? ;)

Anyway, sample her "Greatest Hits" album on iTunes if you need a reminder of her successes. My fave was always "When I Fall in Love." Gotta love the mid-90s wailing-Diva-meets-white-boy-rapper combo!

Aanyhow, Lil Suzy is now all grown up. She was married in October of 2005, and now she and her hubby are expecting their first child.

Oh, and we hear that the little girl's name is already picked out: Angelica Juliet.

Now THAT is a pretty name!

Congratulations, Lil Suzy. And here's hoping motherhood inspires her to write some new music! Every baby needs a lullaby, after all...

... even if it's a Freestyle jam!

Haha.

Later,
