Aside from his ostentatious presence on his social media and his collaboration on DJ Khaled’s ‘Do You Mind,’ August Alsina’s musical efforts have been moderately subsided. That is until now.

The New Orleans crooner returns with new material, which sees him race to the front of the line of acts hatching freshness in 2017. Interestingly titled ‘Drugs,’ the cut sees the 24-year-old profess his obsession with a woman over a sultry slow-churning beat.
