Ciara is breathing new life into her latest single ‘Yes‘ by tapping fellow Atlanta native Young Dro for its official revamp.

After garnering critical acclaim for the recorded version of the ‘Shoulder Lean’ rapper’s addition after it dropped at the top of the month, the updated take on the cut – which puts an up-tempo spin on the original version – has now been given the live treatment by the Southern duo via a visit to the wildly popular YouTube series ‘From the Block.’
