Tyrese Gibson has gone back to where his career began in 1994 to promote his latest, and also final, music project on a bus, and what better place than one similar to where he initially marketed Coca-Cola soda.
The goal for the album, titled "Black Rose," is to reach number one on The Billboard RnB charts and Top 200 charts, bring RnB music back to what some call the good old days, produce a high-quality music project and have people show love for the music genre, according to Gibson's Facebook page.
"Sometimes you just gotta take em back to where it ALL STARTED!!!!!! 20 years ago.... I took this ride and it changed my life forever - to God be ALL the Glory," the singer said on his page.
"I'm ashamed of me," the star begins to sing as he gets on the transporter and goes to the back of the vehicle. "Shame on me. Wish never done you wrong. Shame on me. Every night I dream that I wake up and your gone. Oooo I'm ashamed of me. I'm ashamed of me, yea."
The "Fast and The Furious" star then cracked open a can of Coca-Cola, similar to what he did in a TV commercial for the brand where he hums and then recites the concluding words of the company's famous jingle, "Always Coca-Cola."
Gibson was so good in the commercial that Coca-Cola eagerly wanted the multi-talented individual back for another commercial shoot in 1996.
The recording artist went on to tell people to not be ashamed to "dream big."
"It's ok to be a dreamer. It's ok to think big. It's ok to dream beyond your reality. It's alright. God bless our world," Tyrese said before taking a refreshing sip of the popular beverage. "Black Rose. I'm not going to rest until it's number one on billboard RnB and number one on the Top 200. It's ok to dream big, remember that. One Love."

The bus wasn't the only spot Gibson chose to promote "Black Rose," as he also recently did it on a New York City subway. Check out the footage here.
