JAZMINE SULLIVAN : JUMP OFF (PROD BY WAJEED)

Not that i'm crazy about all and every Wajeed productions but you should have heard me spinning "On a Cloud" (The mastercut from the Platinum Pied Pipers Abundance album and already a stone cold Strictly Niceness bonafied classic) about 24357 times lately ...

Wajeed hails from the D (Detroit / Mi) and is famous for his abilities to create mad sounds in his lab. This track, featuring teammate Coultrain and upcoming lady Jazmine Sullivan, is a dope song sung upon a dope beat. Oh yes ! It is not on Jazmine'a album. And again, watch the horns stabs ...
