I listen to y’all my Rebels, my heart, my ear, and how it makes me feel down in my soul. “The Rain” will be available this Friday❤️*thank you to the legends Jimmy Jam&Terry Lewis for allowing me to use the sample from the original song from the legendary New Edition such an honor❤️ AND WAIT TILL YALL HEAR THIS ALBUM!!!!!”
