I believe when Kelis says "I'm back with an 8-0-8" she is referring to a song with a good beat. The term 8-0-8 is not referencing to an area code, don't be fooled. Just like the group Blaque says "Boom like an 808/Circles like a figure/Feels good from head to toe/To me baby here we go" they're talking about the bass of the drum.
808
1) (n) The bassdrum from a Roland TR-808 drum machine, which is now a popular sample.
2) (n) The penal code for disturbing the peace. Refers to the sound of bass from
stereos.
