A_Con on Brown Sugar and Kanyes Street Lights

A_Con - Monday (6th)

...“Simplicity is the fine line between eloquence and plainness”. Now honestly…who can say that music nowadays could bring forth words like that?

The real question is will Raheem Devaughn deliver a knock out blow for his fans or will he fall flat on his face? Click the header to find out.
