[edit] History

Houston's opinion of this album is that, "I wanted to give my fans a more intimate look at who I am. I called this album Naked because I'm not ashamed of my emotions. I just went through a lot of drama, and I'm an adult now, so these songs are very deep as a result."^[1]

In the United States, Naked peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200^[2] and peaked at number 5 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums^[3].

The album features guest appearances by Joe Budden, Rufus Blaq and fellow former Immature/IMx member, Young Rome.
