New Music: Nick Grant – “Forever And Always” [LISTEN]

Going off over a sample of Lauryn Hill’s classic “Doo Wop (That Thing)” is what South Carolina spitter Nick Grant does on his new single “Forever And Always”. This record should catch some eyes as he gears up to release his sophomore effort, ‘D.O.L.’

“You gonna build me up or hold me down, huh/Basquiat flow, I got the crown, huh/I’m that nigga even when I’m out of town, Huh/Selling O’s, can I buy a vowel/I made it and I brought my drug dealing friends,” he spits.

Lauryn Hill puts all her financial troubles aside and drops this new leak “Neurotic Society.”

“Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline,” writes Ms. Hill. “I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there.”
