Monica has released "Hustler's Ambition," featuring Akon, taken off of her upcoming eighth studio album Code Red.
On "Hustler's Ambition," Akon sings about being away from home while he provides for his family, while Monica prays for his safe return.
"When you wake, I'm by your side / You'll be home in the morning," she sings on the new cut, which was produced by Akon and Philip "Hardwork" Constable.
"Hustler's Ambition" follows the release of the Missy Elliott-assisted title track. In addition to Akon and Elliot, Code Red includes contributions from Timbaland, Polow Da Don and Lil Wayne, who appears on the lead single "Just Right for Me."
Monica's current Code Red Experience tour with Rico Love wraps up on December 13 in New York.
