I mentioned this recently

https://www.brandysource.net/index.php?msg=3132372

But it seems like it's been that way since close to the time it leaked/was released. I know someone mentioned it on the forum back then and posted charts and stuff. It was wild...but I don't remember exactly why. I guess it's a combination of the beat and the cultural drum reference in the lyrics

That makes sense. It's not surprising to me bc the song really has a great sound for a single, just astounding bc it was never released.

It should be a hit everywhere, that's the problem. Come on Africa for being dialed in

This reminds me of the time I was in Antigua on vacation and the radio randomly playing After The Flood. I almost lost it.

If Epic just would've moved right the fuck on after Human and build a Timbaland/James Fauntleroy album based on Drum Life and Home!

Wish she still released it on streaming and just get the rights to it

This is one song that should have been a global hit for Brandy.

Like a world vibe hit.

Drum Life is what she thinks Afrodisiac (the song) is

Drum Life is far and away a better song than Afrodisiac that intro alone.wow
