A new EP by Mark Morrison is set for release in April.

The “I Am What I Am” EP will consist of seven new recordings, and be available on April 7th. Morrison will also embark on a world tour, starting in the UK, in autumn 2014.

The release is the British R&B artist’s first since his album ‘Innocent Man’, which came out in 2006. Morrison, was the first artist in British pop history to have five Top-10 hits from a debut album. His debut, ‘Return of the Mack’, in 1996, sold 3 million albums worldwide, and spun off the hit singles: “Crazy”, “Trippin'”, “Horny”, “Moan & Groan” and the Number 1 “Return of the Mack”. This was followed with the ‘Only God Can Judge Me’ EP in 1997, which spawned the UK Top-20 hit “Who’s The Mack!”.

The new EP will include collaborations with Beenie Man, and Hip-Hop heavyweights DMX, Young Buck, Trae Tha Truth, Keith Murray, Black Rob, and Crooked I of Slaughterhouse.
