Jhene Aiko dropped off her her latest album Trip in September of last year at short notice. She revealed a map mission which explained that her album will also come with an accompanying short film and poetry book. She recently dropped a remix to Trip highlight "Sativa" with both members of Rae Sremmurd. Now, she comes through with a stripped down version of the song.

Jhene Aiko is the latest artist to contribute to Spotify Singles. She came through with two stripped down songs including an acoustic rendition of "Sativa." She holds down the song on her own without the assistance of Swae Lee. The acoustic version holds no percussion but simply a harp and a keyboard backing her. The original version is already very chill but this takes it to a whole new level.

Quotable Lyrics
You came through with that sativa
Indica be havin' me stuck
You know just how to keep me up
You know it, better believe it
