I just feel like ‘Paradise’ is good for the game because we are putting Hip hop love songs in the game. I think they aren’t enough Hip-Hop love songs right now. I just wanted to put in some positive energy in all of that hard hip-hop elements, I just wanted to do something from the heart.”

The single premiered on Apple Music’s, The Dotty show hosted by English rapper, DJ, radio, and television personality Ashley Charles aka Dotty.

With Mass country coming up early next year and two singles in, AKA shared how ‘Lemons (Lemonade)’ and ‘Paradise’ sets the tone for Mass Country; “Paradise and Lemons set the tone for the album, sonically nothing else out there sounds like them and that is what Mass country is. A brand new formula, brand new sonics, brand new sound.”
