emcee UFO Fev is back with a
brand new single titled “Nightclubs,”
featuring Jamaican Dancehall
Queen, Spice.

single is a bombardment of earpleasing
and soothing music that
gives listeners a song that calms
the ears during a rough period
in world history,” said Brooklyn
entertainment promoter, Haitian
American Marie Driven, managing
partner of PlaybookMG.
Produced by Streetrunner, Driven
said Spice partners with UFO

to keep hips churning and
spirits high, the duo is passionate
about the single.

that just makes not only us feel
good but to put our fans in a better
