Is YK Osiris' latest song title referring to his lovers, his potential boxing opponents, or both? Either way, the man needs answers. Hell, he'll settle for some company. After all, the self-declared king of r&b understands that his is the domain of the vulnerable. One must have no qualms with laying their heart out on the line, even if it means risking it all. Osiris, no stranger to the thrill of combat, understands this better than most. Today he proves as much with his brand new single "Leave Me On Read."

The track itself puts his impressive vocals on display, with Osiris calling back to a simpler era; if it wasn't for the heavy use of smartphone technology, we might have been fooled into thinking it was the early millennium. It's a testament to Osiris' dedication to carrying the torch, even though his budding career as a backyard boxer might send him flying down a different trajectory with the speed of a feisty jab. For now, however, let us enjoy what he brings to the table as a musician. And for the love of God, somebody answer this man's messages. 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Where you at? What you doin'? You ain’t seen it yet
I'm seein' blue, blue, blue, baby, that’s a bag, uh
Call you one time, cause I gotta check, ooh-ooh
How you not gon' answer? Posting on your Insta
Baby, where your manners? Don't you know I hit ya?
