Beauty & the Streets Vol. 1 is the debut mixtape by American recording artist Mýa. It is her first mixtape to be released by Young Empire Music Group with distribution from Fontana Distribution on September 29, 2009. The project came to surface when Harrison felt as though she had abandoned her U.S. fan base and wanted to release music for them. The mixtape served as Harrison's second independently released project on her own label imprint Planet 9 and was created to serve the "clubs, strip clubs, whips, and bedroom" with a predominantly southern sound.
Production on Beauty & the Streets Vol. 1 was primarily handled by in-house producers selected by Harrison; Young Yonny, The Bama Boyz, T-Minus, Arkatech Beatz and a host of others. Just as she did previously with her fifth studio album Sugar & Spice (2008), Harrison lent a hand in the songwriting process, co-writing several of the mixtape's tracks with many different artists and songwriters and served as executive producer to the project. Guest features included a then unknown Nicki Minaj, Houston native rappers Bun B, Chamillionaire, Trae, Slim Thug and Z-Ro and Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo.
Beauty & the Streets Vol. 1 spawned two promotional singles; the Bun B-assisted "Show Me Somethin'" and the T-Minus-produced track "Black Out". Although both singles were released to iTunes, neither single was serviced to radio.
