(Black PR Wire) LOS ANGELES, CA - Manny Halley's Imani Records and BMG have partnered to release the single, "Crazy Kind of Love" by Tamar Braxton, from the soundtrack to the original motion picture TRUE TO THE GAME 2. The song is now available on all digital platforms.

The Grammy-nominated Braxton, who has a supporting role in TRUE TO THE GAME 2 as "Ariana," effortlessly pours her signature passion into the melodic "Crazy Kind of Love," which samples the Whitney Houston classic "Saving All My Love for You."

Directed by Jamal Hill ("Brotherly Love," "Deuces"), the story picks up a year after the murder of drug dealer Quadir Richards, whose death carries consequences for all who knew him -- especially Gena (Peeples), his love interest. Separating herself from Philly's dangerous scene, Gena has reinvented herself as a journalist, living and working in New York City. Forced to take some time off of work, Gena is sent on assignment to Los Angeles for a career-changing story.

Though Gena is far from home, her life in Philly seems to always make an appearance. Someone from Quadir's circle has avenged his death with a hit on Jerrell's crew members, reigniting another war between the two crews. Jerell(Fuller) is determined to get paid by any means necessary- and he'll start with Gena.

Supporting cast include Rotimi ("Power"), Tamar Braxton ("Braxton Family Values"), Faith Evans, Waka Flocka, Bre-Z ("All American"), Bernice Burgos, Juliet "Juju" Cee, London on Da Track and Paul Saucido ("Friday Night Lights").

TRUE TO THE GAME 2 is written by Preston Whitmore and produced by Manny Halley, Rodney Turner II and Yolanda Halley. "David Wolf" Stewart ("Bloomers") serves as director of photography.
