JMSN Talks About The Upcoming Album With Ab-Soul
In case you didn’t know who JMSN was, he’s a singer/song-writer, producer engineer, who has worked with artists like Usher, Kendrick Lamar, and now Ab-Soul. We premiered JMSN on IFWT a little under a year ago as an indie artist, and he’s shown nothing but improvement. In recent months, JMSN has been working on a joint album with Ab-Soul called “Unit 6,” which is set to be released in February. The new artist talks about how he leaked out the title of the album early and he wasn’t suppose to. “When MixedByAli was mixing the first single I posted a photo of it on Instagram like, ‘Unit 6 coming.’ And then Ab hit me up like, ‘Dude, why did you say Unit 6? I didn’t want to give away the album title.’ I was like, ‘Oh shit, I didn’t even know we didn’t give it away yet.” We’ll see how easier it gets to keep a secret as JMSN’s career blows up.
