There was some confusion previously about up and coming singer RaVaughn Brown and if she was signed to Ne-Yo’s Compound Label. It turns out Ne-Yo had just taken her under his tutelage, and Brown inked a deal with Columbia Records. Whatever the situation is, lets get down to the music, and the music sounds pretty nice. Take a listen to this preview of a brand new song by RaVaughn featuring Ne-Yo entitled “Shut Up A Minute.” The track has tags and isn’t full, but you can get a feeling for what these two are cooking up. What do you think??

Big K.R.I.T. says:

“The 1st song I wanted 2 release from #4evaNaDay is called Boobie Miles. Its about over coming all the obstacles that block your dreams, the sacrifices that come with how hard you have to go to obtain your goal, giving your all no matter what the situation, the only difference between a winner N a loser is a winner plays until he wins”
