Keke Palmer, the industry's young Angela Bassett, and Big Meech team up on this infectious melody, "Keep It Movin."

Palmer as some may remember her from her roles in the films, "Madea's Film Reunion" and "Akeelah and the Bee" started out singing at a young age.

Last December, Keke dropped the video treatment to her Disney-friendly hit, "It's My Turn."

She also won an 2007 NAACP Image Awards for outstanding actress for "Akeelah and the Bee."

Her album "So Uncool" will be in stores on September 18th. She'll be 14 on August 26th.

So she may be new to singing but she's a young aspiring veteran at best.
