Kashbwoy featuring Joey B – Maria
May is proving to be a month of great sounds and KashBwoy came ready, he pairs with fan-favourite, Joey B to record a new piece, ‘Maria’, atop a VT produced a masterpiece. ‘Maria’ tells the story of a beauty queen who only cares in the world is money and all it could buy, with scores of men at her feet, ready to spoil her with lavish gifts, Maria feels on top of her world.
