Jamaican vocalist Chevaughn has released a truly beautiful record called ‘Quiet Giant.’ The song is a three-way collaboration done with Llamar ‘Riff Raff’ Brown and dancehall heavy-weight Agent Sasco.
Everyone that’s familiar with Chevaughn‘s music knows that he is a captivating singer, but what makes this particular track amazing is the lyrical content. To truly appreciate what we’re saying, check out the following excerpt taken from the song:
“Quiet Giantz
Rule the Kingdom
But In their time of need
Who will the strong ones lean on?
Quiet Giantz
You don’t see them
But you see the work they do to
Serve us all.”
Though we’re not sure what actually inspired the track, the fact that it was shared in the middle of the current global pandemic, with essential workers on the front-line, makes it a timely release. Click here to check out the full song.
