Lil Yachty – “We Ball Forever” / “Cry Me A River” / “All Around The World”
Boat surprised everyone when he dropped off three standalone singles earlier in the week. Entitled “We Ball Forever,” “Cry Me A River” and “All Around The World,” each track, albeit rather brief, also comes equipped with a colorful new visual. The new cuts have yet to land on DSPs.
