In "I wonder if I can get some of this R&B money" news, Dr. Dre signed Marsha Ambrosius, one half of the Grammy-nominated duo Floetry, to a solo recording deal. Word on the street is the invitation to work with the rapper-producer came late last year, when Ambrosius and partner Natalie Stewart were performing two Floetry shows at The Roxy in Los Angeles.

The singer-songwriter says she is thrilled at the chance to work with Dre, who has only worked on a few projects in recent years. Though Dre is not exactly known for dabbling in Floetry's brand of neo-soul, Marsha has no doubt the alliance will work.

Here's Marsha Ambrosius to MTV on working with Dr. Dre: I'm absolutely ... I'm in shock. It shows all dreams are real. It's one of those situations where I'd be a fool to pass it up. The idea was posed to my manager and he said, 'The offer is laid out on the table. What do you want to do?' I figured [I'm] 28 years old, I came over to the U.S. [from the U.K.] on a whim that something might happen, I'm already three albums deep with Floetry. That's already made its mark and is something that will remain. I would genuinely be a fool not to do it. Anybody would. Who wouldn't? It's a lifetime opportunity. It's not like he offers to do an album with everybody.

You're absolutely right. He doesn't offer to do an album with just anybody, just ask Truth Hurts, Busta Rhymes or Eve.

Here's some jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Floetry's Marsha Ambrosius signing a solo recording deal to Aftermath: The trouble with resisting temptation is it may never come your way again. Maybe the Soundscan gods will smile upon you.
