The Boi-1da produced track is the fifth on Soulo’s new project and is a hard-hitting anthem sure to give you some added motivation to start the week.
Young Dolph’s Estate and Paper Route Empire released both the newest single “Old Ways” and the Memphis rapper’s highly anticipated posthumous album Paper Route Frank last week.
