A Naughty by Nature feature, The contribution of English singer song writter, instrumentalist and recorded producer Chris Martin? The feel of British rapper Stormzy? American song writer, record producer Mario Winans? Or Hollywood superstar sound engineer Mike Dean who has worked for Kanye, 2pac, 2chains & Jay z?"
