In a July interview posted on YouTube, Monica told DJ Smallz Eyes that Code Red would arrive in September. But September came and went and Code Red had yet to land on store shelves. However, just this morning the singer told the folks at Fox LA that the disc will be released in December.

Meanwhile, Monica has released an audio-only video for the single “Just Right For Me” featuring Lil Wayne.
