[@diamondmartinitm8895]

Why the producers never get no love? They the ones that make it happen without a good producer you just have a good artists talent go to waste. So the producers who making it all happen and go together should have a lot more love and support. My comment was before I even watched this video now that I'm watching it I'm 2 times right 😛
