The EP contains all original material, crafted, almost in its entirety, by the talented Grammy nominate producer, Druski. The New Orleans natives 10-track EP addresses broken relationships, the temptation of the music industry, a positive support system, and true romance. The soundscapes Druski offers never drown Dawn’s vocals, but rather serve as the bed for her poignant lyrics to rest on.

The 1st single off the EP is entitled Bombs. “It’s really aggressive and what I love about is it’s our ‘Hearts have arrived’ record,” Dawn told Rap-Up TV. “It’s such a confident record and the way we approached it is super aggressive and super cocky.” Not only is the song hot the video is FIRE!!
