Tamar is the self-titled debut solo album by Tamar Braxton, released on March 21, 2000 through DreamWorks Records and RedZone Entertainment. Prior to the album's release, Braxton had been the lead singer of The Braxtons after her sisters Traci and Toni had left the group, leaving them as a trio of just Tamar, Trina and Towanda. After releasing their only album together, So Many Ways in 1996, Braxton was offered a solo recording contract with DreamWorks and left the group to begin her solo career. In 1999, she released the EP, Tamar: Just Cuz to generate buzz about her then-upcoming solo album.[2] In the United States, Tamar peaked at number 127 on the Billboard 200 and number 42 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album features various collaborations from Missy Elliott, Jermaine Dupri, Amil, Tim & Bob, Tricky Stewart, among others.
