While fans are waiting for his most-anticipated album, Chris Brown decides to hold us over in the meantime by sharing on his SoundCloud page a brand new track titled "Die Young". Teaming up with New York-based rapper Nas, Chris pays homage to those who have lost their lives too soon.
The piano-driven track is actually a remix of Chinx's track of the same name which appeared on his debut posthumous album, "Welcome to JFK", in 2015. The song has a very deep meaning as it is an ode to a young black man in America who has lost his life to police brutality. "Hear the gunshots, sound like another black man died/ Another innocent killed by the police/ Whose side are you on?/ All that violences red and blue," Chris sings on the first verse of the song.
Elsewhere on the song, Nas proves he's a sharp storyteller as he raps about the harsh life. "See my neighbours, see my haters, see federal agents/ Pharmacies ain't giving out no medical favors/ But we got scripts to Codeine and icy cotton/ Gettin' rich off that like ain't no other options," he raps.
Chris is currently gearing up to release his upcoming eighth studio album, "Heartbreak on a Full Moon". The album will feature forty songs and apparently it's going to be a double-disc project. Co-produced by Benny Benassi, Boi-1da and more, the set is scheduled for release in June via RCA Records.
