by

As we make our way into R&B season, Canadian R&B duo dvsn has returned with a song that may just have you contemplating sending a text to your ex, called “What’s Up” featuring Jagged Edge.

If you tuned into the artist’s last single, “If I Get Caught Cheating,” this new arrival is a continuation of that, with the accompanying music video revealing the dire and often heartbreaking consequences that come along with infidelity.

“This song was made by us alongside Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox at a time when we were looking for the perfect way to describe the moments and emotions leading up to that late night text you know you shouldn’t send to someone,” dvsn shared in a statement.

“Please don’t mix this song with alcohol and pre-block anyone you know you shouldn’t be talking to. You have 30 mins,” they teased on Twitter ahead of the track’s debut at midnight.

Stream “What’s Up” on Spotify below, and tap back in with HNHH later for more music updates.

Quotable Lyrics:

Who told you it’s okay to not call me by now?
Who told you you should be at these parties right now?
I know you’re only actin’ happy publicly
You could’ve called me if you needed company

DVSN’s ‘If I Get Caught’ Triggers Response Song From Kandi & Tiny

Since the release of their latest single, “If I Get Caught,” DVSN has certainly stirred the pot and open pandora’s box for conversations on potential toxic relationship.

The group originally finished the recording of the record back in January, with the intention to release it in March. Instead, it was release this Summer. One would say it is perfect timing because Winter months are labeled as “cuffing season.” On the other hand, the warm weather season entices more outside activity that may or may not involve the cuffing season.

“You get to see this person and mentality in its boldest of thoughts,” said Daniel. “There’s something in the honesty of the song, although it may be triggering.”

It has certainly triggered some listeners and raised some eyebrows. “If I Get Caught” has also prompted a response from half of the R&B quartet, Xscape. Kandi Burress and Tameka “Tiny” Harris dropped their response and added their sauce to the pot of controversial R&B. In the chorus they sing:

If you get caught cheating
middle finger up ni**a f**k you

Both Nineteen85 and Daniel Day have shared their experiences of getting caught. While they have learned their lessons of the past, the point of the record stretches beyond toxicity.

According to the the R&B duo, (Daniel Day & Nineteen85) their forthcoming album is a story. “If I Get Caught” is only “chapter one of it” that discuss ego.

dvsn is getting ready to release their new single, “If I Get Caught.” The new single, which will drop on Friday, contains a JAY-Z sample from “Song Cry,” so the duo of Daniel Daley and Nineteen85 needed to clear a sample, and Jermaine Dupri helped them out.

JD sent a text to Hov and asked for the hand, which drew an immediate reaction of “Haaaaaaaa!!!” after he heard the single.

“I didn’t think one could make a song more toxic than Song Cry,” Jay wrote. “I stand corrected.”

Hov would also jokingly ask for a disclaimer about his previous message before signing off on the clearance.

dvsn also hosted a focus group for the single and the first reactions can be heard below.

DVSN IF I GET CAUGHT ART

R&B duo dvsn, consisting of singer Daniel Daley and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Nineteen85 unveil their provocative, new single “If I Get Caught” accompanied by an equally thought-provoking new video via OVO Sound and Warner Records.

With the help of Jermaine Dupri, “If I Get Caught” samples “Song Cry” from JAY-Z’s seminal 2001 album The Blueprint. It twists the Hip Hop classic into a moral dilemma about infidelity and its impact on a relationship.

 “If I get caught cheating, that don’t mean I don’t love you,” dvsn sings on the chorus. 

Although it’s sung from the perspective of a man, in the rollout promo a mixed focus group of men and women in various relationship types solidified its theme as universal.

The controversial video directed by Andy Madeleine showcases Daniel Daley and his best friend Mal embarking on a night out with Jermaine Dupri making a cameo appearance. All while Daniel’s girlfriend is left at home to her own devices, assuming the worst about what the boys will get into.

Check out the visual for yourself as the Canadian duo celebrates the polyamory lifestyle in their provocative new anthem, “If I Get Caught.”
