South-London's Joy Crookes has gone back to her Irish roots to collaborate with Jafaris – Dublin’s rising star. The track titled Early is a soothing single that focuses on the primary stages of modern-day love and gives us a melancholic vibe. The singer’s soft and husky vocals with the rappers Kendrick-inspired voice and flow are a perfect fit on this track.

Jafaris is one of Dublin’s most promising independent talents, he released his debut album Stride earlier on this year which didn't include any features, showing the star's ability to kill it on his own. I would highly recommend giving Stride a listen. He has since gained an even larger audience and continues to dominate the scene in Ireland.

Notable lyrics:

Crooksie told me not to fall in love too early

Percy never listened and he loved too early

I’m too early

Was too early

Why too early

Check out the audio for Early below and let us know what you think!
