Summer may be nearing its end, but – if the music video for her latest single ’23’ is indication – Sevyn Streeter is not done bringing the heat!

A reference to basketball legend Michael Jordan‘s iconic Bulls jersey, ’23’ will surely be a critical slam dunk for Sevyn who brings all flavors of braggadocious to the Needlz and Domgotbeats-produced track.

“I been working out all summer for these pics / Milkshake, getting thick / He gon’ shoot his shot, but he gon’ hit a brick / If I shoot my shot, just know I never miss,” Streeter sings.

Accompanying its arrival with a music video directed by MdotforMayor, look inside to see the sizzling ’23.’
