Jnr Brown songs are like influenza mutations: they don't come around very often, but when they do there is much death. The last Jnr Brown single we saw was Mariia over a year ago. However it seems that potential beef has hurled him back in the studio. And we're not complaining. Beast, Yagidojo and Begotten Sun were involved in production, Sylent Nqo with instrumental contributions and GZE handling the A&R. The song is also available for free download.
