FAITHFULLY was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Even after many other factions abandoned the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy, Faith Evans continues to stand by her man on the appropriately titled FAITHFULLY. She still makes her home on Bad Boy Records, and the newly christened P. Diddy takes his rightful place masterminding the project and guesting on "You Gets No Love." Throughout the album, Evans reiterates the reasons why she deserves the title "first lady of hip-hop." Though she's a dyed-in-the-wool R&B songbird, FAITHFULLY is a perfect example of how an album can be R&B and hip-hop simultaneously. Even beyond the contributions of guest rappers (including Loon as well as the aforementioned Mr. Diddy), there's such a strong sense of hip-hop urgency in the beats and production style that there's no question where Evans's musical heart lies.
