D Smoke teams up with violinist, singer/songwriter and partner SHERIE for a sensual anthem to love.

On February 13th, D Smoke, the two-time Grammy nominated artist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, teamed up with his partner, SHERIE, a talented violinist, singer/songwriter, and fellow tourmate, to release a sensual anthem to love.
