Thinking About You

A few favorite in R&B is forming and he flows as constant as an Ocean. If you have not guessed by now it is Frank Ocean. Ever since Odd future hit the scene everyone in their crew has hit the ground running, and right now Frank Ocean is looking like an Olympic Sprinter. Nostalgia Ultra is one of the best mixtapes of this year, Frank will be releasing an album entitled Nostalgia/Lite, and Frank Ocean is contributing to Kanye West and Jay-Z's new Album watch the throne. He recently dropped a new track called Thinking about you and much like every other frank ocean song its pretty smooth.
