Terrence Tunes Up, J.Lo Tunes In

Terrence Howard's debut album due out Sept. 2

Terrence Howard has completed the hustle. Now he's letting listeners in on his flow.

The Oscar-nominated actor has set a Sept. 2 release date for his long-promised debut album, Shine Through It.

Produced, written and of course performed by Howard, the Columbia Records release already counts two music vets as major fans: a couple of up-and-comers named Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez.

"They heard it...[Anthony] was like, 'This is so incredibly sick,' " Howard told E! News. "Marc Anthony asked me to come on tour with him so I can sit there and watch...He wants to show me the way to perform this as honestly as possible. Lost his mind over it. He's like my best friend now. Because he respects the music."

Looks like it won't be hard out there for the pimp this time around.
