Posted April 23, 2008 -- No other R&B star keeps it as real as Keyshia Cole. Fans of the Oakland-bred sensation got to see her up close & personal for the first time on BET's "Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is," a bonafide hit in its first season. We learn that the life behind Keyshia included a crack-addicted mother, Frankie, in prison for drugs, and sister Neffe, who battled alcoholism and other personal issues -- can you say drama? Meanwhile Keyshia remained in the center, working to keep her family together.

In this second season, Frankie returns home from a 3-year prison stint and Keyshia relocates the family to the suburbs of Atlanta, Ga. With everyone under one roof, they delve into the dysfunction, sort through their differences, fight the demons and work on having the loving relationship they never had. Highlights from this explosive DVD include an introduction to the folks who keep Keyshia looking tight, and a one-on-one emotional interview with Frankie, where she describes seeing Keyshia for the first time in a long time and tells how she hit rock bottom with her crack addiction.
