Tyrese is an independent artist in the music world, and the other day, he did what independent artists do.  Well, those who aren't in billion dollar films and already have several mainstream albums under their belts.  Check out Black Ty's "impromptu" subway promo caught on video...

So Black Ty was riding the NY subway this week when he felt the need to stand up and announce his independent album is on iTunes now.  Yes, the announcement was made to the whole subway train car....like the product pushers do when they come on trying to sell stolen goods.

Ty got some love from a fan during his announcement, and it's loud and hilarious.  He posted the video above saying:

"I said fuck it... And went independent I'm in Brooklyn NY on the train selling my #BlackRose album and this happened!!"

Ha!  His Black Rose album, which he claims will be his last solo project, is now #1 in 12 countries....so we guess his antics are working.
