On his new comedy album "NICK CANNON: MR. SHOWBIZ" (New Wave Dynamics) now available on iTunes & Amazon, Cannon uses his trademark charisma and natural comic timing to reveal his thoughts on his famous marriage to Mariah Carey, becoming a father, and putting an end to his buzzed about Twitter war with hip-hop star Eminem. Revealing his edgy side, he also shares hysterically honest stories about his humble beginnings, family, his 'hood tendencies' and failed attempts at being a gangster.
”Mr. Showbiz" is available digitally on iTunes & Amazon. The CD will be in stores on May 31st.
