R. Kelly is back with a titled "Double Up," set to hit stores May 29 via Jive, and he's asking fans to preview it by dialing in to a hotline (312-278-3965) for song snippets.

"Since y'all called, I'ma give y'all a few lil snippets.

Other songs on the message include the title track, featuring Snoop Dogg, "Freak It in the Club," "Rockstar" featuring Ludacris, "Pull Your Hair," and "Put Some Money on It," featuring Rick Ross.
