Hip-hop rap artist Twista has just released his eagerly awaited new album, ‘The Day After’.

Twista is joined in the studio by superstar hip-hop, and rap guests such as Lil'' Kim, Jamie Foxx, Pharrell, Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Juvenile, Trey Songz, Sleepy Eyed Jones, Speedknot Mobstaz, Pitbull, Syleena Johnson, and Johnny P. The innovative MC collaborated on the tracks with some of hip-hop's greatest production talents, including the Neptunes (T.I., Nelly, Jay-Z), Scott Storch (Missy Elliott), Rodney Jerkins (Brandy, Aaliyah, Omarion), Toxic (Faith Evans, Do Or Die), Mr. Collipark (Ying Yang Twins) and Unusual Suspects (Pretty Ricky, Trick Daddy).

"Girl Tonite (feat. Trey Songz)," the album's first single, is already a bulleted top 10 hit at Urban radio outlets nationwide, as well as a top 20 smash at CHR/Rhythmic, where it was the week's #1 Most Added track upon its release earlier this summer. The track is also currently bulleting up the Billboard "Hot 100."

Long hailed as the rapper's rapper, Twista exploded out of the hip-hop underground with 2004's breakthrough "KAMIKAZE."  The album was an instant sensation upon its release, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of more than 300,000 units.  Powered by two #1 crossover smashes, "Slow Jamz" (honored as ASCAP's "Most Played R&B Song of 2004") and "Overnight Celebrity," as well as the top 10 hit, "So Sexy," the album is now nearing the double platinum mark, officially establishing Twista as the superstar he has long deserved to be.

Fans wishing to meet Twista will have their chance at a pair of special in-store appearances.  On Wednesday, October 5th, the Chicago-based rapper will visit CD Depot in Gary, Indiana (located at 3570 Village Ct.), for a two-hour signing session kicking off at 7 PM.  The next day, Twista will hit his hometown for a 5 PM appearance at Chicago's Best Buy store at 1000 North Avenue.
