Asia Cruise Checks In Before Video Release

Asia Cruise checked in with her MySpace friends (@asiahitz) on Wednesday (January 23) with the following bulletin:

Hey Everyone! It’s Asia <3 and I just wanted to shout out to everyone and let them know my video is dropping in ONE MORE DAY!!! I can't believe it's finally here. For those of you who already know who I am and what I look like, I want to thank you for all the YEARS and I mean YEARS of support that y'all have given me. It means the world to me and I want to dedicate this video to y'all. I put my blood sweat and tears into this video and song and I hope it shows. For those of you who don't know me or what I look like, it's been fun reading all the comments about who I am. I've been getting a lot of Asia from the PCD and I even heard that I was Tom Cruise's illegitimate daughter LOL. What the heck? ... It will be interesting to hear the comments after the big reveal. I know some of you are wondering why the big mystery. Well, to be honest with you, it really didn't start that way. The whole "Who Is Asia Cruise" was more of a question to myself. When I started working on the album, the main question that kept poppin up was "Who is Asia?" I really wanted to pick songs that reflected me and who I am…so when you listen to the album, you'll definitely get a sense of who I am. Then I wanted everyone to like me for my music instead of my image. That was really important to me. So, we decided to take a risk and not put my face out there and GUESS what? Ya'll love my music!! And as an artist, I can't tell you how that makes me feel. I'm nervous and anxious about the big reveal, but I believe in my fans and I know they'll love my just as I am :) I Love you Guys!!! XOXOXO Asia
