Audio Premiere: Sleepy Brown "We Run The Night"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Okayplayer is proud to host the official premiere of "We Run the Night," the new single from Organized Noize co-founder and ATLien soul legend Sleepy Brown. This jam has pretty much everything you could ask for in a springtime anthem; shimmery synths on the intro, knocking steppers drums, a hook that's half George Benson, half Flourgon--and Sleepy's trademark falsetto throughout. Even better, this may be a sign that his new LP Sex, Drugs & Soul--which has been threatening to drop since the fall through Brown's own 13 Black record label--may finally be on the way. Considering Sleepy's basically an honorary Goodie Mobster and Outkaster as well, it could be a sign of other things in the works, too--and all of those things are good. Stream below and cop the single on iTunes.
