Shungudzo |
"White parents" |
single |
An expensive way to find out what a person is really like is to make them famous and then see what they do with the fame. Shungudzo has 100 million Spotify streams from pleasant but conventional featured vocals on Oliver Heldens songs, not to mention a public-presence jumpstart from having been on The Real World: San Diego. This song is the opposite of capitalization: using the currency of fame to invest in truthtelling. |
