Thugs need love too. You have heard 2Pac and countless other rappers say it over the years. It is a concept that has allowed some of rap’s grittier voices to be accepted in the mainstream, Ja Rule, I’m talking to you, by pairing them with angelic singers like Ashanti on hooks. It also gave those with less tolerable tones a chance to make their mark. After releasing his infectious debut in the pages of RESPECT. Magazine, Fort Wayne native Young Thunder is back with his vibey new track, “She Can Lay It Down.”
Sticking to a melodic flow that complements his deep tone, Young Thunder delivers bars about an insecurity that keeps him from emotional connection, though not physical. It is a strong single in anticipation of the February 2 release of his project Synced. With his entertainment and clothing company Street Philosophy firmly behind him, the sky is the limit for the Midwest representative.
Check out “She Can Lay It Down” below and be sure to look out for Synced, coming next month.
