After delivering his Fly Examalbum last year, JGivens continues his momentum with a “maxi-single” in the form of “Make It” featuring Christon Gray and production from Goodman21 as well as “Lotto,” which finds guest vocals from Cousin Neighbor, and Erik Kingsley and Anthony Cruz combining forces on the boards.

Givens shares his signature lyrical wordplay on the two tracks as he attempts to carve out his own lane in the independent scene. He was inspired by the challenge in Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Part 4” that put the game on high alert for April 7, which is when Givens dropped the songs.

“I had been sitting on these two records. I’ve always wanted to release a maxi-single, and both collaborations were long overdue for some very patient fans,” he shares in a statement to HipHopDX. “Plus, this was my humble response to my favorite number, IV. K-Dot warned all of us that we had until April 7 to ‘Get our sh*t together,’ MCs. Keep working. So here you go, God bless.”
