Ester Dean is on a roll with many writing credits, most notably Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” and Christina Aguilera’s upcoming “Not Myself Tonight.” Now she’s co-writing on Young Jeezy’s first single from the rapper’s fourth studio album, Thug Motivation 103. The single is entitled “Mama Told Me” and Dean is singing in place of Beyoncé for a demo cut.

We smell a radio hit for Jeezy. The radio and the public just eat up these hard rappers’ songs with a soft hook. Beyoncé alone will aid in making it possible. Jeezy is great on his own anyway so the combination of the two will take this Middle-Eastern shaded song to a higher level.
