Barely a month after wrapping up the ‘Sincerely For You World Tour,’ his latest international jaunt in support of the December 2022-released album ‘Sincerely for You,’ R&B sensation Jacquees is already back to business as supporting act for fellow Atlanta-reared stars Killer Mike and Jermaine Dupri.

For the latter, Jacquees joins forces aboard a Diesel Filmz-directed ‘Pick It Up‘ music video that sees them turn up at a Main Event.

“Then I start what you can’t / Texting me all them pictures / If I can’t touch it, then don’t send it / All that talking, I ain’t with it,” sings Jacquees on the JD and Bryan-Michael Cox-created cut.

For the former, the 29-year-old brings his instantly recognizable vocals to ‘Maynard Vignette‘ led by Mike, T.I., and JID.

“I’m a young, Black Maynard, mama gospel singer / Daddy dope slanger, born from the anger,” raps Mike in a salute to Atlanta and its famous mayor Maynard Jackson (who served in-role in the late 1970s and early 80s).
