Bruno?s last full single release before Finesse was That?s What I Like
Stick to that boycoochie thread :udontlookok:
:plzstop: @ boycoochie :kii:
Streaming has become an artist saving grace.
I?m
So behind with exploring new artists I try to keep up but I be getting in this Brandy mode not wanting to listen to anything but her .. Kendrick is next on my list
It still surprises me how hard More Life flopped for Drake standards

He didn't. Bruno actually has sold the most albums out of all the men there. His album came out in Nov of 2016 so all of those sales are missing
