Elijah Blake: ‘Jacquees is Not the King of Anything…Maybe Burger King’ [Video]

Having penned hits for the likes of many-an-R&B crooner including Usher, Mario, and more, singer-songwriter Elijah Blake – a lauded performer himself – doesn’t take it lightly when people appoint themselves honorific titles in the genre.
