be seeing crying real tears, The artiste had this to say.
"I took a decision to release this song earlier [than planned] because my fans have been asking for it, and with the frequent mass shootings, the killings of infants, and the domestic violence, I feel the youths dem need music that is more inspirational. It is like it is always RIP on social media now," Yaksta said.
The single will be released on the AfroBoi Entertainment label on September 23. The track sees the Assets deejay teaming up with Marlon Easy, Afro Boi and Wussmuzikk, the latter being the driving force behind his breakthrough 2021 single Ambition.
