Once again, Kurupt, who prepares to drop his third album, has shed his single status by recently becoming engaged to Natina Reed of pop group Blaque. After the end of his relationship with BK rapper Foxy Brown, Kurupt says that Natina kept him concentrating on his dreams and not pettiness. "She helps keep me on point," he said. "She’s in the music industry and knows a lot about the game." Kurupt and Natina will go totally public once the first single drops from his latest album, Space Boogie : Smoke Oddessey. He also recorded the song, "Sunshine," dedicated to Natina. (On her new song "7:30," Foxy Brown has several choice words for Natina saying, among other things, "His heart still belongs to me.") Not ironically, Kurupt says that the new album reflects his new found maturity. "This album is more mature musically. I’m more or less letting people into my mind," he said. That’s why I named this one Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey, because it’s a whole new realm that I’ve never been in. Along with Natina, he says that Snoop Dogg also guided him to evolve. "I talk to Snoop about life. Snoop made me realize that there is a lot at stake now. I’m burnt out on all that (wild living)," he said. "It’s Over," the first single off the album, features his fiancée who actually raps on the second verse. She will also play his love interest in the accompanying "Grease-styled" video for the song. Currently, Kurupt is also working on several film projects including "Plague Season," with Ving Rhames and "The Wash" with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
