Good music alert!

As his following continues to rise with every passing day, Def Jam’s Elijah Blake ignites the fire behind his debut album today…launching a brand spanking new single set to hit iTunes on March 3rd.

Named ‘Sing For Me’, the upbeat number comes armed with killer verses from Rick Ross and ‘Robin Hood’ hit-maker The Game, forging a collaboration set to take R&B/Hip Hop by storm once it impacts radio!

Why we’re putting out a ‘good music alert’ on this one? Well, it simply is that…good- marking yet another cut which sees Blake pen an ‘Urban’ effort palatable enough for Pop audiences, without losing the edge that’s given his sound such a clear point of difference.

Today, the good finds itself outweighing the bad as the clip reaches a monumental milestone, and as the performer joins management company Roc Nation in celebrating the release of new music from collaborator Elijah Blake!
