Here's my verse for Fabolous' Instagram #ColdSummerChallenge. I wouldn't consider it an entry because it's after he already selected ones for a Tidal playlist but I still wanted to post mine.

“In The Dark” Official Video
https://youtu.be/h67T_FmkOw8 My first music video in years is finally out. Many thanks to Denisse Castiglia for filming, editing and helping create what I put to paper.

#Reconnecting, round 2. I'm back this month with a new song and a some words about it. I knew I wanted to release this month's drop on Halloween.
