A lot of people don’t know this but Ty Dolla Sign was in the group Immature as their drummer. That’s also how the connection with him and Brandy formed because she sung background for them before her career took off.

Free TC is a classic. Always in rotation

Rest in peace Malcolm. Can only imagine his music at 30 years old and what Collabs he would have made.

Ty is a true introvert. You can hear his social energy meter dropping in record time. 😂
