Jacksonville hip hop all-star (and Urban Jacksonville Weekly intro producer) Tough Junkie has produced the latest track for the new Black Sheep single “Birds of a Feather”.

This is HUGE. Jacksonville hip hop history! Ian Ranne said it best: That’s right folks, Q Tip, De La, Black Sheep, and The JBs on a TOUGH JUNKIE track….sorta like a big deal to my people!
