Teyana Taylor Covers Rolling Out Magazine [VIDEO]

With her highly-anticipated album VII coming out Nov. 4, Teyana Taylor's showing the world she's ready to shine! The G.O.O.D. Music songstress has a "gorgeous physique and a voice to match," and she's sharing all of it with Rolling Out magazine.

According to Vibe Magazine, the Def Jam beauty gets playfully seductive on the cover and inside editorial. She combines her tough side with her sensual femininity perfectly. For the cover, Taylor goes topless, wearing only oversized denim shorts and a black and white floral cape draped over her shoulders.

In her interview, she opens up about her new album, being mentored by future legends Pharrell and Kanye West and how she deals with haters. She also talks about her relationship with New York Knicks basketball player Iman Shumpert, whom she calls her "peace of mind."

First, Taylor explains why she named her upcoming ablum VII.

"Seven is the number of completion. Seven actually has different meanings, but for me, I feel like I've been in the business for seven years and [there have] been a lot of bumpy roads and detours and all types of stuff going on within those seven years. But now in the seventh year, everything is finally completed and is coming together. It's done and I can give you a full body of work. So that number means a lot to me and this year is very important to me."

She also shares what she has learned from mentors Pharrell and Kanye.

"Pharrell and Kanye are perfectionists and that's all they surround themselves with and that's all they know," she shares. "When you're around that, it automatically rubs off on you. So everything I do has to be perfect, it can't be half-a--ed. You either gotta do it or not do it at all. So, definitely perfection is the most important thing."

Taylor also opens up about her relationship with boyfriend Iman.

"I'm happy," she admits. "I'm not on the phone too much and I'm not really on social media now. When you have a peace of mind, which is your companion, you listen to your man so when he's telling you to calm down, then eventually you let it go. But when you're in your own space and you feel independent with your feelings, then it's just like, 'OK, I'm going to do what I want to do.' But when you have your peace of mind, it takes your mind off all the negativity and all the people that [are] trying to bother you."

As far as dealing with haters, Taylor says she takes the good with the bad.

"I don't block that s--t out; it hurts," Taylor says. "But then you also have the brighter side of things. It's a give and take. If you can take compliments, then you should be able to take when people have negative things to say. It's very hurtful, but I don't block it out. It hurts, then I speak about it, and then it's over. You'll read one negative comment out of 99 good comments, but it will be that one negative comment that will really have you pissed off. But once you relax a little bit and calm down and think about the good, then it makes you feel better and you go about your day."
