R. Kelly is readying the release of Black Panties for December, and today he unveils the artwork for the cover. The image is of a woman clad only in black panties, with the singer in the act of playing her like an instrument. In a recent video clip Kelly described the inspiration behind the album title which occurred when he was performing at a show. "I'm holding my mic and a pair of black panties landed on my wrist," he says. "I looked up like, that's a sign."

Along with the deluxe edition artwork, the tracklist for Black Panties can be viewed below, and the titles for nearly every song are just as fantastic as they should be. Features include Jeezy, Kelly Rowland and Ludacris, while Future, Migosand Juicy Jwill appear on the bonus tracks. His most recent release from the project is "Cookies." After listening to it, Oreos will never look or taste the same. Black Panties is due out December 10.
