Former Roc-A-Fella star Amil recently sat down with Billboard, where she explained why she stepped away from music after a while, but reveals that she's coming back with new music. When asked about her relationship with Jay while she was on his label, Amil says that there was never anything more than them being a family.
"Jay had respect for my talent - writing and my voice - nothing more. Jay gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, and what I did with it was my own decision. That was my brother. There was never a relationship between me and Jay or anyone over there. He was like a brother; He was very protective over [me]. I'm never going to lose any love for Jay."
She also opened up about leaving music, There was never a conversation. He (Jay Z) knew that that's not where I wanted to be. I told him that I couldn't do it for another year. I think he understood, overall."
Amil's now back to working on new music and has a mixtape coming out soon, "I'm wrapping up my mixtape, 'A Moment In Life.' It should be out late spring or early Summer. It's a lot of R&B. I still love 90's music so I wanted to stay in that zone. I miss the music of my era. People remember me from the late 90s, and that's what I like to represent. So I'm doing a lot of songs off 90s beats and collaborating with 90s artists (Havoc, JT Money, Killah Priest). You'll hear a much mature Amil."
