Mariah Carey has released her new song “Type Dangerous”, the lead single off her upcoming 16th studio album. Type Dangerous samples the hip-hop classic “Eric B. Is President” by Eric B. & Rakim.

Carey said in a statement, “I’m so excited to finally be releasing ‘Type Dangerous’ into the world! I’ve been locked up in the studio for quite some time working my behind off on new music, and I’m thrilled for the unveiling of it to my fans, starting with ‘Type Dangerous!’”

“Type Dangerous” follows the release of the deluxe anniversary edition of The Emancipation of Mimi, which dropped May 30. The deluxe anniversary edition features 40 songs; twice the number of tracks that appeared on the original 2005 album.
