My new song “Blended Family (What You Do For Love)” featuring @ASAPROCKY is HERE! #LinkInBio To me, family has no singular definition and the modern family is made up of all kinds of beautiful people willing to put love first. I can't wait for you to hear this whole body of work. Thank you for listening, thank you for loving, and thank you for believing in the power and magic of the music! 💜🙌🏽🎹🙏🏽
