[@Caviix0]

Yes Gyption! ...9yrs later and this is still a mood 🙏🏾

[@Techisol]

Wicked Voice. Sounds like an A Capella. What a compliment from the Guitarist. I always come back to listen to this so many times.

[@163Pon]

Epic! That note he hits around 1:45........goosebumps galore.

[@lexiew2527]

listen to this every morning before class 😢

[@RyanDamms07]

2023 gyptian still burning that eternal musical fire 🔥🔥

[@edenferreira3313]

Oh my gosh this man has a beautiful voice 😍

[@lindseybush2252]

the beauty of his voice is astounding. i crying as i write this comment his voice just fits in the song so perfectly,effortlessly hitting every note beautifully. his voice makes me sway and blink slower it’s incredible. his voice is what i think luicfer himself sounds like. it’s this melody in his voice it’s just sounds like glorious like morning sun after dark winter months. his voice is making me eyes leak and smart. his voice blurs my vision filling it with his other worldly voice. gyptians voice is the reason I remember there are good things.

[@GirlRainbow9]

Came back for the 100th time to watch/listen to this! I will never tire of it! Scrumptious ❤️💛💚🖤

[@onedia707]

[@Renz29Robe]

I'll never forget meeting Gyptian after his concert at NYU nearly over 10 years ago. My friend, Kwesi at that time was able to sneak me backstage. Gyptian was like, "come here pretty girl" I was so smitten 🤗. Got my CD autographed and a pic. Such a groupie moment.....lol!!!! I love my yardies.....I felt the same way meeting Marlon James.
