The multi-faceted, female hit- maker has taken the airwaves by storm most recently with her intriguing second single "Turnin' Me On," featuring Lil Wayne, which was the #1 most added song to urban radio this week. Nurtured between uber producers Timbaland (Mosley Music Group) and Polow Da Don (Zone 4 Inc.), Hilson is readying the release of her debut album, In A Perfect World ... for early 2009.

Hilson remains a hot commodity, most recently appearing on and co-starring in the video for Chris Brown's "Superhuman." She also took the lead as the main attraction in the video for Usher's smash single "Love In This Club" earlier this year.
